Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- noun In physiology and psychophysics, a narrow band of color produced, under certain conditions of experiment, by the passage of a pendulum or other light rod across a bicolor disk observed with the resting eye: so called, as opposed to illusion-band, because it is due to the purely geometrical relations of the disk and the intercepting pendulum.
