Measurements of some visual functions (visual fields, acuity and visual inversion) versus intensity of stimulus, including facilitation, carried out by Justo Gonzalo in patients with central syndrome, are seen to follow Stevens' power law of perception. The characteristics of this syndrome, which reveals aspects of the cerebral dynamics, allow us to conjecture that Stevens' law is in these cases a manifestation of the universal allometric scaling power law associated with biological neural networks. An extension of this result is pointed out. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
