About Synaptic Spiral

Synaptic Spiral is a browser-based interactive visualizer for Julia, Mandelbrot and Newton fractals, presented as mathematical art with real-time animation and adjustable display controls. It offers Standard and Perturbation rendering modes, a 3D camera readout showing position, direction and zoom, and a velocity display.

The Nebulabrot controls add HDR exposure adjustment for brightness and contrast of the accumulated image, plus separate red, green and blue iteration bands; the red channel captures high iteration count trajectories. Accumulation can be cleared to start fresh, the interface can be hidden with the spacebar or a double-tap, and audio settings are available in the menu.
