Project Description

Many visualization systems focus on expert users, such as trained statisticians or researchers. The focus of research around such systems is often driven by technical of perceptual questions, rather than cognitive ones. This project develops tools and theory around thinking with data more broadly, including for using visualizations for learning, reasoning and social interpretation.
