[HTML][HTML] Taxonomy of individual variations in aesthetic responses to fractal patterns
B Spehar, N Walker, RP Taylor - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
In two experiments, we investigate group and individual preferences in a range of different
types of patterns with varying fractal-like scaling characteristics. In Experiment 1, we used 1/f …
