Researchers increasingly use visualisation to make sense of their data and communicate findings more widely. But these are not necessarily straightforward processes. Theories of knowledge brokerage show how sociopolitical contexts and intermediary organisations that translate research for public audiences shape how…

Visualisations facilitate the interpretation of geometrically structured data and results. However, heterogeneous geometries—such as volumes, surfaces, and networks—have traditionally mandated different software approaches. We introduce hyve, a Python library that uses a compositional functional framework to enable…

Recent advances in high-throughput experimental techniques have led to an exponential increase in both the size and the complexity of the data sets commonly studied in biology. Data visualisation is increasingly used as the key to unlock this data, going from hypothesis generation to model evaluation and tool…

Advances in high throughput single-cell and spatial omic technologies have enabled the profiling of molecular expression and phenotypic properties of hundreds of thousands of individual cells in the context of their two dimensional (2D) or three dimensional (3D) spatial endogenous arrangement. However, current…

Purpose The treatment of cerebral aneurysms shifted from microsurgical to endovascular therapy. But for some difficult aneurysm configurations, e.g. wide neck aneurysms, microsurgical clipping is better suited. From this combination of limited interventions and the complexity of these cases, the need for improved…

Spatial planning and development use various visualisation methods. Technological advancements in visualisation techniques have allowed imaging to shift from 2 to 3D dimensions. 3D optical illusion, which converts information recorded in the digital form into a three-dimensional presentation, can be a new tool for…

Visualising the complex information captured by synthetic biology designs is still a major challenge. The popular glyph approach where each genetic part is displayed on a linear sequence allows researchers to generate diagrams and visualise abstract designs [2], but only represents a single, static representation that…

Visual representation of the law and legal process can aid in recall and discussion of complicated legal concepts, yet is a skill rarely taught in law schools. This work investigates the use of flowcharts and similar processoriented diagrams in contemporary legal literature through a literature review and concept-based…

In order to describe natural phenomena, science develops sophisticated models that use mathematical and formal languages which seem, and often are, very far from common experience. When a phenomenon is not accessible to our senses, its description is indirect and understanding can be difficult for those who are not…

The representation of complex biomolecular structures and interactions is a difficult challenge across life sciences. Researchers and students use unintuitive 2D representations to gain an intuitive understanding of 3D space and molecular interactions. Since this is cumbersome for complex structures, such as…

Effective visualization of small molecules is paramount in conveying concepts and results in cheminformatics. Scalable vector graphics (SVG) are preferred for creating such visualizations, as SVGs can be easily altered in post-production and exported to other formats. A wide spectrum of software applications already…

sciences Authors: ['José F. Rodrigues' 'Luciana Zaina' 'M. Beatriz P.P. Oliveira' 'Bruno Brandoli Machado' 'Agma J. M. Traina'] Information Visualization techniques are built on a context with many factors related to both vision and cognition, making it difficult to draw a clear picture of how data visually turns into…

Background Scoping reviews and evidence maps are forms of evidence synthesis that aim to map the available literature on a topic and are well-suited to visual presentation of results. A range of data visualisation methods and interactive data visualisation tools exist that may make scoping reviews more useful to…

—Despite its importance for assessing the effectiveness of communicating information visually, fine-grained recallability of information visualisations has not been studied quantitatively so far. In this work, we propose a question-answering paradigm to study visualisation recallability and present VisRecall — a novel…

'Pierre Dragicevic' 'Yvonne Jansen' 'Lora Oehlberg' 'Petra Isenberg'] Abstract—We explore how the lens of fictional superpowers can help characterize how visualizations empower people and provide inspiration for new visualization systems. Researchers and practitioners often tout visualizations' ability to "make the…

Chemical space is a powerful, general, and practical conceptual framework in drug discovery and other areas in chemistry that addresses the diversity of molecules and it has various applications. Moreover, chemical space is a cornerstone of chemoinformatics as a scientific discipline. In response to the increase in the…

'Hayder Mahdi Abdullah Al-Maneea' 'Panagiotis D. Ritsos'] We believe that 3D visualisations should not be used alone; by coincidentally displaying alternative views the user can gain the best understanding of all situations. The different presentations signify manifold meanings and afford different tasks. Natural 3D…

Personal data visualisations are becoming a critical contributor toward the successful adoption of mobile health (m-health) apps. Thus, understanding user needs and challenges when using mobile personal data visualisation is essential to ensuring the adoption of these apps. This paper presents the results of a user…

Background Biomedical image processing methods require users to optimise input parameters to ensure high-quality output. This presents two challenges. First, it is difficult to optimise multiple input parameters for multiple input images. Second, it is difficult to achieve an understanding of underlying algorithms, in…

Research on mental visual imagery typically relies on vividness ratings. However, vividness is ill-defined as it lacks an objective reference. Here, we present survey results that suggest vividness is nevertheless a robust trait. It explains individual differences of a broad range of subjective experiences, from the…

Conscious experiences normally result from the flow of external input into our sensory systems. However, we can also create conscious percepts independently of sensory stimulation. These internally generated percepts are referred to as mental images, and they have many similarities with real visual percepts.…

The reemergence of virtual reality (VR) in the last few years has led to affordable commodity hardware that can offer new ways to teach, communicate and engage with difficult concepts, especially those which involve complicated 3D motion and spatial manipulation. In a higher education context, these immersive…

Visual perception and imagery rely on similar representations in the visual cortex. During perception, visual activity is characterized by distinct processing stages, but the temporal dynamics underlying imagery remain unclear. Here, we investigated the dynamics of visual imagery in human participants using…

Recent approaches conceptualize mental imagery as a simulatory mode of perceptual experience, which relies on the voluntary engagement of the same top-down prediction processes that shape our perception of the external world. If so, then imagery should induce similar predictive biases as those that are known to govern…

Effective visualization of complex synthesis routes is critical for computeraided synthesis planning (CASP), yet current solutions are limited in scope, integration flexibility, and chemical intuition. We introduce RouteWise, a versatile, containerized web application designed to address these unmet needs. Its modular…
