Traditionally, vision science and information/data visualization have interacted by using knowledge of human vision to help design effective displays. It is argued here, however, that this interaction can also go in the opposite direction: the investigation of successful visualizations can lead to the discovery of…

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…

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…

Background The amount of plant data such as taxonomical classification, morphological characteristics, ecological attributes and geological distribution in textual and image forms has increased rapidly due to emerging research and technologies. Therefore, it is crucial for experts as well as the public to discern…

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…

Visualizations are ubiquitous in data-driven research, serving as both tools for knowledge production and genuine means of knowledge communication. Despite criticisms targeting the alleged objectivity of visualizations in the digital humanities (DH) and reflections on how they may serve as representations of both…

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…

Background Regular Physical Activity (PA) is important for disease prevention and health promotion. PA has been assessed through surveys, questionnaires, and devices such as accelerometers. Alongside PA, Sedentary Behaviour (SB) and sleep are the main components of 24/7 movement behaviours, and their adequate…

'Sukhjit Singh Sehra'] Terms like ‘big data’, ‘data science’, and ‘data visualisation’ have become buzzwords in recent years and are increasingly intertwined with journalism. Data visualisation may further blur the lines between science communication and graphic design. Our study is situated in these overlaps to…

Rhetoric is the study of the communication techniques used to inform, persuade, or motivate a given audience in a particular situation, modifying their conceptions and attitudes toward the object of communication. Visual rhetoric (as an artifact) is the purposeful production or arrangement of colors, forms, and other…

5## Conclusion Whilst glossary definitions of complex terms are a useful resource for PPIE activities, some terms lend themselves to being explained more easily through visual methods. We developed 10 public-friendly visualisations to improve accessibility and support PPIE in the development and application of…

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…

This article reviews historically significant phenomenological studies of visual mental imagery (VMI), starting with Fechner in 1860 and continuing to the present. This synthesis of diverse VMI phenomenological studies in healthy adults serves as a unique resource for investigators of individual differences, cognitive…
