Our brain can instantly recognize trees, even in abstract art
Researchers found a hidden mathematical rule in tree-like art. Branch thickness follows a predictable ratio, making trees recognizable.
How artists and scientists see tree branches similarly
Yet only “Gray Tree” has scale-invariant branch diameters. When Mondrian removes the scale invariance in “Blooming Apple Tree ...

Identifying 2D shapes
Two-dimensional (2D) shapes are completely flat. They have two dimensions – length and width. A polygon is a closed 2D shape with straight sides that meet at vertices. Polygons can be regular or ...
