Research Byte: What paint can tell us: A fractal analysis of neurological changes in seven artists. via BrowZine

This is WAY cool. A promising method that, IMHO, might be applied to routine required repeated drawings in the elderly during regular physical exams. Also, would it be possible to develop fractal-based diagnostic norms from geometric drawings from standardize psychological drawing tests used in clinical practice? That is, fractal analyze all norm based drawings from a test, develop what is "normative" by age, and then flag drawings of clients that are divergent from typical? Need to file this for interesting possible new test development methods.
