Visualization of neural data : Dynamic representation and analysis of accumulated experimental data

Abstract: The scientific method is an integral part of the investigation and exploration of hypotheses. Although procedures may vary from one field to the next, most have common identifiable stages. Today, there is no lack of tools that illustrate data in different graphical mediums. This thesis focuses instead on the type of tools that researchers use to investigate their hypotheses’ validity.When a sufficient amount of data is gathered, it can be presented for analysis in meaningful ways to illustrate patterns or abnormalities that would otherwise go unnoticed when only viewed in raw numbers. However useful static visualization of data can be when presented in ascientific paper, researchers are often overwhelmed by the number of plots and graphs that can be made using only a sliver of data. Therefore, this thesis will introduce software which purpose is to demonstrate the needs of researchers inanalyzing data from repeated experiments in order to speed up the process of recognizing variations between them.
