Özet

Migraine is a complex neurological condition, often triggered and intensified by visual stimuli in the built environment. Perceptual visual complexity analysis has been a subject of study for many years. However, the intersection between architectural design and migraine management remains underexplored. Visual stress is “context-specific,” yet previous research highlights the significant role of some visuospatial factors. Examples include flickering light sources and striped patterns, which can create visual stress and trigger migraine and epilepsy. Through the confluence of architecture, health sciences, and technology, this research introduces a practical visual analysis tool designed to assess visual complexity in built environments and identify potential visual stimuli. The aim is to assist architects, designers, and non-expert users in creating environments that prioritize well-being and bridge the gap between visual stress and architectural practices. By developing evidence-based design research, the study sets the groundwork for future migraine research to help individuals with low tolerance to visual triggers.
