The history of Western visual art is traditionally divided into a succession of stylistic
movements on the basis of the art-historical provenance and visual qualities of artworks …

The amplitude of Fourier spectra for natural scenes falls with spatial frequency (f) and is
described by the equation, 1/f α, where exponent α corresponds to the slope of the spectral …

Climate change threatens not only the material bases of human societies but also is likely to
harm human psychological/emotional well-being. One aspect of this emotional harm may …

Exposure to images of urban environments affords higher cognitive processing demands
than exposure to images of nature scenes; an effect potentially related to differences in low …

Research to date has not found strong evidence for a universal link between any single low-
level image statistic, such as fractal dimension or Fourier spectral slope, and aesthetic …

The 1/f α amplitude spectrum is a statistical property of natural scenes characterising a
specific distribution of spatial and temporal frequencies and their associated luminance …

Exploration is one of the most powerful behaviours that drive learning from infancy to
adulthood. The aim of the current study was to examine the role of novelty and subjective …

Natural scenes contain several statistical regularities despite their superficially diverse
appearances (eg, mountains, rainforests, deserts). First, they exhibit a unique distribution of …

Creativity is a highly valued and beneficial skill that empirical research typically probes
using" divergent thinking"(DT) tasks such as problem solving and novel idea generation …

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