The past 50 years have seen a remarkable revolution in the way scientists study nature’s scenery. At the heart of this revolution lies the discovery of intricate patterns called fractals. The growing impact of these natural patterns raises a crucial question – can nature’s beauty trigger a dramatic reduction in stress and mental fatigue?
Join Dr. Richard Taylor, professor of physics, psychology and art and the Head of the Physics Department at the University of Oregon, as he presents his research using sophisticated neuroscience techniques to examine people’s responses to fractals.
