So do you think our brain might actually be an IFS fractal? Well it seems it is... "the human cerebral cortex is self similar in a statistical sense, a property which is usually referred to as being a fractal. The presented analysis includes all spatial scales from the brain size to the ultimate image resolution. Results obtained in two healthy volunteers show that the self similarity does take place down to the spatial scale of 2.5 mm. The obtained fractal dimensions read D=2.73±.05 and D=2.67±.05 correspondingly...." http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/1675/ (http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/1675/) also http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-chaotic-life/200909/fractal-brains-fractal-thoughts (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-chaotic-life/200909/fractal-brains-fractal-thoughts) Reply Title: Re: Fractal Brain Post by: bib on August 26, 2010, 12:41:46 PM Some more brain-like fractals in this video:

I fixed your question :clown: Title: Re: Fractal Brain Post by: Power 8 on August 26, 2010, 02:27:03 PM Yes Bib I'd seen your "planet of the Brains" video, it's great! Sockratease: ;D |
