Fractal Fluency: Processing of Fractal Stimuli Across Sight, Sound, and Touch

What the study found

Extends fractal-fluency ideas across vision, sound and touch and links mid-range complexity to processing ease and stress outcomes.

Limitations

Review/theory chapter rather than a building intervention; cross-modal evidence is uneven.

Neurodesign interpretation

Fractality may be less a visual style than a cross-sensory statistical property. That creates a path to studying material texture and sound with the same complexity language.

Possible design implications

Explore whether repeatable multi-scale structure across material texture, sound and visual pattern produces coherent sensory environments.

Why it stays in the corpus

Retain for multimodal pattern research.
