Sensory '''threshold''' is a [[theoretical]] [[concept]] used in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychophysics psychophysics]. A [[stimulus]] that is less [[intense]] than the ''sensory threshold'' will not elicit any [[sensation]]. [[Methods]] have been [[developed]] to [[measure]] thresholds in any of the [[senses]].
