Multidimensional hierarchical (mTree) data are very common in daily life and scientific research. However, mTree exploration is a laborious time-consuming process due to its structural complexity large dimension combination space. To address this problem, we present mTreeIllustrator, mixed-initiative framework for exploratory analysis of multidimensional with faceted visualizations. First, prop...

A case-based visual display can serve as method for analysis in mixed research. This methodological article builds an argument the role that a matrix, diagram, table, or figure play when used interactively to generate, elaborate, confirm analytical insight methods The provides in-depth exploration of two methods: timelining and mapping. Timelining adds dimensionality through investigating tempo...

OBJECTIVE Develop and analyze results from an image retrieval test collection. METHODS After participating research groups obtained and assessed results from their systems in the image retrieval task of Cross-Language Evaluation Forum, we assessed the results for common themes and trends. In addition to overall performance, results were analyzed on the basis of topic categories (those most am...

A mixed reality (MR) represents an environment composed both by real and virtual objects. MR applications are more and more used in different scientific and practical areas, for instance, in medicine, architecture, entertainment, manufacturing, etc. This paper describes development of mixed reality framework for visualization and execution of discrete event simulation models based on the Discre...

Visuomotor circuits filter visual information and determine whether or not to engage downstream motor modules to produce behavioral outputs. However, the circuit mechanisms that mediate and link perception of salient stimuli to execution of an adaptive response are poorly understood. We combined a virtual hunting assay for tethered larval zebrafish with two-photon functional calcium imaging to ...

Interaction between the cerebral hemispheres may allow both hemispheres to contribute their processing resources in order to cope efficiently with complex tasks [Banich, M. (1998). The missing link: the role of interhemispheric interaction in attentional processing. Brain and Cognition, 36, 128-157]. The current study investigated whether the benefits of interhemispheric interaction arise becau...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of low-vision rehabilitation in 2 cohorts derived from the Veterans Affairs Low-Vision Intervention Trial. METHODS In a prospective study, we observed 44 participants randomly assigned to outpatient low-vision rehabilitation who did not receive additional treatment after the trial ended at 4-month follow-up and 56 participants randomly assigned to the w...
