How much do we see?
• We do not have the en<re visual world in conscious awareness
• We apprehend only a <ny frac<on of informa<on in our surrounding – Just the right amount of informa<on
• But we can sample the world around us very rapidly with swiA eye movement (1/10 second)
• Although we have very liHle aHen<on capacity • A good use of our cogni<on ability is very important to keep our brain small

Visual Thinking and Queries
• Visual thinking – the process of alloca<ng aHen<on
• We are conscious of the field of informa<on that we have rapid access rather than the en<re world – Allows us to do a beHer graphics design
• Visual thinking consists of a series of acts of aHen<on, driving eye movements and turning our paHern finding circuits
• The act of aHen<on is called visual query – search for paHern

The Apparatus
• Eye – digital camera • Light sensi<ve cones – three
colors • Brain pixels are concentrated
in a central region called fovea to process visual detail (100 pts on the top of a pin)
• Half of our visual brain is to process about 5 % of the visual world
• Eyeball muscle moves about 900 degree/second (saccade)

The Act of Percep<on • Two waves of neural ac<vity
– Informa<on driven wave – AHen<on driven wave
• BoHom up and top down percep<on

BoHom Up Percep<on
• Low level features –> paHern –> object – Op<cal nerve – V1 cortex : feature detec<on edges and contours;
color; mo<on;
– Features are put together to form paHerns – textures, long contours, (Gelstat psychology)
– Visual objects (three in visual working memory at a <me)
– Not all visual processing in done in visual working memory
• They are done in parallel by many parts instead
– The real power lies in paHern finding

The Act of Percep<on
• Top-‐down (aHen<on) – Driven by the need to accomplish some goals
– Search for a color then the color feature will be enhanced – Eye movement: fast at first, fixa<on was brief, – How does our brain where to look?

Design Implica<on
• The design should allow visual queries to be processed rapidly and correctly for the cogni<ve tasks that the display is intended to support – Understand the intended cogni<ve tasks and visual queries
What are the cogni<ve tasks?

How We Solve Problems? • Nested Loops – Outer loop deals with generality (construct a set of steps to solve the problem)
– Inner loops deal with details (visual search, eye movement, find paHerns, etc.)
