Perception in Visualization

An example of a perceptually-motivated multidimensional visualization of recent U.S. election results ( larger image or high-resolution PDF ), each of the 435 congressional districts across the 50 United States are subdivided into four quadrants to show which party's candidate the district's voters selected for the 2004 Presidential election (upper-left quadrant), the most recent U.S. Senate election (upper-right), 2006 U.S. House election (lower-right), and the most recent Governor election (lower-left); color represents party (blue for Democrat, red for Republican, green for Independent), and saturation represents the winning percentage (more saturated for higher percentages); the small disc floating over each state shows aggregated state-wide results; incumbent losses are highlighted with textured X's; the height of a state represents the number of electoral college votes it controls

Studies in Visual Perception, II.

The aim of the extensive set of visual examples to be developed in this paper and its sequels is to illuminate and define a view of the way in which the initial stages of human (doubtless also primate, and,with some modifications, many other mammalian) visual system are organized, In broad terms, this is conceived of as a bottom-up process, carried by multiple families of cells all layed out in an essentially retinotopic correspondence. Our first animated figure shows a pair of periodically reversing Kanisza figures which suggest motions in 3-dimensional space, and even the 3-D shapes of the illusory moving objects.

Rather than let their silence imply their support, 51 leading scientists in the field of aging research collaborated on a position paper that sets out the current state of the science and separates fact from fiction.
