Evaluating Scientific Visualization Using Cognitive Measures
نویسنده
چکیده
In this position paper, we discuss the problems and advantages of using physiological measurements to to estimate cognitive load in order to evaluate scientific visualization methods. We will present various techniques and technologies designed to measure cognitive load and how they may be leveraged in the context of user evaluation studies for scientific visualization. We also discuss the challenges of experiments designed to use these physiological measurements.

A User Study of Visualization Effectiveness Using EEG and Cognitive Load
Effectively evaluating visualization techniques is a difficult task often assessed through feedback from user studies and expert evaluations. This work presents an alternative approach to visualization evaluation in which brain activity is passively recorded using electroencephalography (EEG). These measurements are used to compare different visualization techniques in terms of the burden they ...
متن کاملManipulating and Controlling for Personality Effects on Visualization Tasks
Researchers in human-computer interaction and visualization have recently been challenged to develop a better understanding of users’ underlying cognitive processes in order to improve system design and evaluation. While existing studies lay a critical foundation for understanding the role of cognitive processes and individual differences in visualization, concretizing the intuition that each u...
متن کاملMeasuring effectiveness of graph visualizations: A cognitive load perspective
Received: 20 March 2009 Accepted: 3 April 2009 Abstract Graph visualizations are typically evaluated by comparing their differences in effectiveness, measured by task performance such as response time and accuracy. Such performance-based measures have proved to be useful in their own right. There are some situations, however, where the performance measures alone may not be sensitive enough to d...

متن کاملUsing Visual Design Expertise to Characterize the Effectiveness of 2D Scientific Visualization Methods
Figure 1: Eleven different visualization methods that represent the same continuous scalar dataset. We are characterizing the effectiveness of each one of these methods, both individually and in combination, to represent scalar datasets in 2D. We present the results from a pilot study that evaluates the effectiveness of 2D visualization methods in terms of a set of design factors, which are sub...
