		Mach number, in fluid mechanics, is the ratio of the velocity of a fluid to the velocity of sound in that fluid, named after Ernst Mach (1838-1916), an Austrian physicist and philosopher.
		Mach's principle, in cosmology, is the hypothesis that the inertial forces experienced by a body in nonuniform motion are determined by the quantity and distribution of matter in the universe.

		Mach's subsequent writings were deeper investigations into this relationship between the subjective sensations of the beholder and the nature and measurements of the thing observed.
		Mach's experiments and theories had been well known and much debated when, around 1880, physical science was rocked and subsequently redefined by the failure of the Michelson-Morley experiment, an attempt to measure the speed of light.
		It is not improbable that Mach himself would have discovered the theory of relativity, if, during the time that his mind was in its prime, physicists had been concerned with the importance of the problem of the constancy of the speed of light.

		The positive Mach band (arrowheads) produced at the point of maximum concavity (middle arrows in a) is somewhat difficult to appreciate, not because of insufficient contrast at the points of concavity but because of insufficient contrast secondary to superimposition of the opacity of the knob.
		Note the change in the perception of the Mach band along the contour of the interface at each of the arrows as the overall contrast is altered by the increasing opacity of the lung and its overlapping surround in the craniocaudal direction.
		The negative Mach band (arrows) on the outer aspect of the stripe is formed by convex soft tissue of the mediastinum at an interface with the concave air of the lung.

		Mach bands is the name given to the light and dark zones seen at the onset and offset, respectively, of luminance gradients that lack any photometric basis [1](Figure 1).
		A more recent interpretation of Mach bands is that the effect closely parallels the accounts of the simultaneous brightness contrast and Cornsweet effects (Lotto, RB, Williams SM, Purves D 1999 a,b) (see DEMONSTRATIONS #02-05 and #07) [2].
		The empirical explanation of Mach bands is the same, in principle, as the explanations of simultaneous brightness and Cornsweet effects.

		Salience of Mach bands as a function of the relative linearity of the luminance gradient stimulus [generated here by a square occluder interposed between the light source and the surface on which the shadow is cast, as indicated (Top); see Methods for details].
		The perception of Mach bands elicited by a given gradient is changed by information in the stimulus that alters the probability of the source being a curved or a flat surface.
		As indicated in Table 1, subjects invariably perceived the Mach bands associated with the curved surface to be more salient than the bands associated with the penumbra of the shadow cast on the flat surface.

		Mach bands, which normally occur at the edges of ramp modulations of luminance, are demonstrated to occur in fullwave stimuli that have ramp modulations of contrast while maintaining constant expected luminance.
		Both fullwave Mach-band stimuli exhibit perceptual Mach bands that are decreases or increases in apparent texture contrast with no concommitant change in apparent brightness.
		The perceived contrast bands in fullwave Mach stimuli and the brightness bands in a conventional luminance Mach-band stimulus have approximately the same magnitude.

		A band of illusory lightness is apparent at position 2, as is a band of illusory darkness at position 3.
		Mach ruled out the possibility that these illusions arise from movement of the disk by observing that the light and dark bands are equally apparent in photographs, as is evident here.
		Such stimuli elicit the perception of Mach bands, as can be appreciated by examining the computer-generated stimulus shown in B (the photometric measurement in C indicates that the bands seen in response to viewing the stimulus in B are entirely illusory).

		One of the most powerful illusions that can be explained by the receptive field properties of retinal ganglion cells are Mach bands, named after a 19th century Austrian physicist.
		Mach bands are illusory strips of light and dark areas adjacent to a light/dark edge and which enhance the contrast of the edge which allows the visual system to separate areas into different objects.
		Lightness constancy is the ability of the visual system to tell use about the lightness of an object regardless of the illumination conditions and lightness contrast is an effect where the same object lightness can appear to differ depending upon the surround lightness.

	Logarithmic 3-Band Color Encoding: ...
		Logarithmic multiband color encoding is a pseudocolor scale in which three distinct color bands are defined to correspond to major, minor, and trace constituent levels, with a lower threshold of 0.001 used for the trace band since zero must be excluded from a logarithmic scale.
		Within each band, the intensity is encoded logarithmically, and the color runs from a pure primary color at the low end through pastel colors at the high end, as illustrated in Figure 4.
		Additional bands could be added if needed to extend the range of the depiction of trace constituents below 0.001 mass fraction, in which case the secondary colors of yellow, magenta, and cyan could be used with their pastels to encode additional decades of k-value or concentration.

		Mach bands are illusory bright and dark bands seen where a luminance plateau meets a ramp, as in half shadows or penumbras.
		It has previously been shown that Mach bands are attenuated by placing stimuli, such as bars, nearby.
		It was shown in an experiment in which Mach-band attenuation for bar and Craik - O'Brien stimuli was compared that they are equally effective in attenuating Mach bands.
