How Age and Gender Influence the Performance of Mach Bands

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of gender and age on the Mach band effect. 130 volunteers are recruited as volunteers to participate in our Mach Belt experiment. The results show that there is no significant difference between male and female students in the performance of Mach band effect, while the performance of minors was significantly better than that of adults. This research reveals the different effects of gender and age on Mach band phenomenon. Explanations for this discrepancy and implications for future research are discussed in the discussion section.
