Photophobia is one of the most common symptoms in migraine, and the underlying
mechanism is uncertain. The discovery of the intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion …

Highly prevalent in nature, fractal patterns possess self-similar components that repeat at
varying size scales. The perceptual experience of human-made environments can be …

Visual discomfort is related to the statistical regularity of visual images. The contribution of
luminance contrast to visual discomfort is well understood and can be framed in terms of a …

Diffusive surfaces should be optimally designed for acoustic and aesthetic purposes.
Fractals are commonly used to adapt to the parametric demands of interface design …

Much of the neural machinery of the early visual cortex, from the extraction of local
orientations to contextual modulations through lateral interactions, is thought to have …

The investigation of aesthetics has primarily been conducted within the visual domain. This
is not a surprise, as aesthetics has largely been associated with the perception and …

Imbuing the benefits of natural design into humanmade spaces, installations of fractal
patterns have been employed to shape occupant experience. Previous work has …

Trypophobia refers to the visual discomfort experienced by some people when viewing
clustered patterns (eg, clusters of holes). Trypophobic images deviate from the 1/f amplitude …

Adaptive lighting systems can be designed to detect the spatial characteristics of the visual
environment and adjust the light output to increase visual comfort and performance. Such …

In the last decade, the behavioral sciences have described the phenomenon of trypophobia,
which is the discomfort felt by some individuals when viewing images containing clusters of …
