absolute threshold
selective attention
feature detectors
difference threshold
place theory

Explanation:

• Absolute threshold: Refers to the minimum intensity of a stimulus that can be detected.
• Selective attention: Involves focusing on relevant stimuli while ignoring irrelevant ones, which matches the given description.
• Feature detectors: Neurons that respond to specific features of a stimulus.
• Difference threshold: The minimum difference between two stimuli that can be detected.
• Place theory: A theory of pitch perception related to the location of hair cells in the cochlea.
