Measurements of the peripheral sensory adaptation response were compared to a simple mathematical relationship involving the spontaneous, peak, and steady-state activities. This relationship is based on the geometric mean and is found to be obeyed to good approximation in peripheral sensory units showing a sustained response to prolonged stimulation. From an extensive review of past studies, the geometric mean relationship is shown to be independent of modality and is satisfied in a wide range of animal species. The consilience of evidence, from nearly 100 years of experiments beginning with the work of Edgar Adrian, suggests that this is a fundamental result of neurophysiology.
将外周感觉适应反应的测量结果与一个涉及自发活动、峰值活动和稳态活动的简单数学关系进行了比较。这种关系基于几何平均数，并且发现在对外延刺激表现出持续反应的外周感觉单元中能很好地近似遵循。通过对过去研究的广泛回顾，几何平均数关系被证明与感觉模态无关，并且在广泛的动物物种中都成立。从以埃德加·阿德里安的工作开始的近100年实验的证据一致性来看，这表明这是神经生理学的一个基本结果。
