If Madison Wilson is creating a new drink, the psychophysics will tell her

1. She could make the drink twice as sweet by adding twice the amount of sugar.

2. She would need to research how the perception of "sweetness" changed by the amount of sugar added.

3. She would need to look at the subliminal aspects of "sweetness".

4. She would need to create promotions to tell customers how "sweet" the new drink is.

The psychophysics will want Madison Wilson to research how the perception of "sweetness" changed by the amount of sugar added.
