> On the other hand, ugly architecture could have direct negative consequences. Arnold J. Wilkins, Professor of Psychology at the University of Essex, has found that looking at certain urban landscapes may actually give you a headache and cause migraines. If you look at the link: https://theconversation.com/looking-at-buildings-can-actually-give-people-headaches-heres-how-74565 https://theconversation.com/looking-at-buildings-can-actuall...? > There are two ways of measuring efficiency; the first is to build simple computer models of the way that nerve cells compute what we see. > For our own research, Olivier and I designed a computer program that measures how well images adhere to the rule of nature. After running the program, we found that departure from the rule of nature predicts how uncomfortable people find it to look at any given image – whether it’s an image of a building or a work of art. And then later: > That is, our brains use more oxygen when we look at scenes which depart from the rule.
