SUMMARY:Data Science in Human Behavior: Faculty Fridays
DESCRIPTION:Join the UW-Madison Data Science in Human Behavior Master’s Program Faculty for an open office hour\, monthly on Fridays from 1-2pm CST. \nDuring this time\, anyone can visit the Zoom room to share conversations and ask questions. Feel Free to come late or leave early. \nJoin us for a special Faculty Friday on November 5 that will focus on visual perception. \nKaren Schloss and her team aim to understand how people use visual reasoning for visual communication.  Specifically\, how people form associations between visual features (e.g.\, color\, shape) and concepts\, and how they use those associations to interpret meanings of visual features in information visualizations (e.g.\, graphs\, maps\, diagrams\, signs). The Visual Reasoning lab also investigates how to increase engagement in science through immersive experiences in scientific visualizations using virtual reality. This work can be translated to making visual communication more effective and efficient. \n  \n  \n  \nEmily Ward’s explores the nature of human visual processing\, with an emphasis on the ways in which high-level perception interacts with and constrains other processes in the mind. Some of the specific questions that the Visual Cognition Lab have explored are: What determines whether we become aware of something? What factors determine how accurately we perceive something? How do visual factors constrain what we remember?  To address these topics\, we use a combination of behavioral\, computation and neuroimaging methods\, including both creating novel visual tasks and applying pattern analysis and machine learning to explore neural representations and transformation. \n  \nFaculty Fridays will happen each month on October 8th\, November 5th\, and December 10th. \nZoom Room: \nhttps://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/93227353886 \n\nDial in: +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) Meeting ID: 961 7498 6377\nOne tap mobile: +13126266799\,\,96174986377# US (Chicago) \n\n
