Data Visualization, Storytelling, and the Brain
Speaker(s):
James Haight
Duration: 60 minutes
Track: Visualize & Inform
It’s no secret that data visualization offers an opportunity to uncover hidden relationships and empower individuals to make data-driven decisions. To best recognize the benefits of data visualization, it’s important to understand how the human mind interprets inputs and processes information. In this presentation we will explore why data visualization falls into our biological sweet spot and supports our quest to communicate through visual storytelling. Join us as we break down best practices to communicate analysis and build out the ‘Data Hero’s’ journey. I will draw from personal experience as a data analyst advising executive boards, my work covering the visualization marketplace, and my studies under an MIT neural engineer.
