O cérebro humano é um órgão complexo e dinâmico que processa informações de maneira integrada e especializada, dependendo das necessidades e do ambiente. Neste trabalho, buscamos compreender o papel dos fractais na análise do cérebro, comparando as abordagens da neurociência e da teoria cognitiva comportamental (TCC) da psicologia. Fractais são padrões geométricos que apresentam uma estrutura repetitiva em diferentes escalas e podem ser encontrados em vários fenômenos naturais e artificiais. Na neurociência se utiliza, o conceito, fractais para estudar a atividade cerebral como um sistema complexo, que se adapta constantemente às mudanças do ambiente, formando estruturas neurais que armazenam e fortalecem as informações relevantes. A TCC pode usar fractais para analisar os padrões de comportamento da fisiologia cerebral, considerando os diferentes tipos de comportamento, pensamentos e emoções como concorrentes ou cooperadores para a prevalência da dinâmica, comparando tal fenômeno como um sistema dinâmico complexo. Este artigo pretende apresentar uma visão integrada dos conceitos de fractais na neurociência, bem como suas implicações para a TCC. O artigo conclui que é possível criar uma plataforma para melhor relacionar a função cerebral com estudos cognitivos, ampliando ainda mais as perspectivas dos já utilizados Sistemas Dinâmicos Complexos para conectar cognição e comportamento.
