WED@NICO SEMINAR: Steve Franconeri, Dept of Psychology, Northwestern University "Structure Perception in Data Visualization"
Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO)
12:00 PM
//
Lower Level Chambers Hall
Details
Speaker:
Steve Franconeri, Professor of Psychology, Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, Northwestern University.
Talk Abstract:
Your visual system is a neural network that evolved and developed to perceive the scenes, faces, and objects of the natural world. You then adapt that network to process structure in data visualizations and other artificial displays of information, leading to forms of visual thinking that are at times powerful, but often severely limited. I'll propose a model of how this adaption allows us to visually compute statistics on depictions of raw data, process relative magnitudes in a bar graph, and link features by similarity in a color heatmap.
