Optical-physical aspects of fractal art therapy

The calculation of spatial spectra of deterministic and stochastic fractal images were carried out. It is shown that self-similarity of the spectra and their high degree stability to the structural distortion is an important factor in creating a positive emotional background in the contemplation of objects with fractal features. This provides a physical explanation for the widely practiced fractal art therapy which is based on the perception of static and dynamic fractal images.
