title: Measurement of the information associated with muscle behavior.
abstract: An invariant relationship between information and muscle behavior is identified, a methodology is developed for measuring this information in terms of muscle behavior, and an information measurement unit is established. This information measure has the same basic characteristics as other fundamental measures, such as length, time, mass, temperature, heat energy, and electrical charge. The information measure can be used to quantify, compare, analyze, and specify the behaviors associated with various information inputs, and provides the basis for making behavioral science as quantitative as the physical sciences.
