Ever feel inundated with information? You’re not alone! It’s critical right now – with the onslaught of COVID data – to have the ability to glean useful information from charts and graphs. BrainStorm Neuroscience Pitch Competition™ 2020 finalist Lorenzo Ciccione (Collège de France, PSL University), in the lab of Stanislas Dehaene (Collège de France), is examining how our brains extract information from plots and charts. Scientists have discovered many people do not understand complex data visualizations; but do we possess an intuitive understanding of statistics? Uncovering how the brain extracts meaning from graphically depicted data will help the research team discover ways to make graphs easier to learn and understand. Enjoy an update on Lorenzo’s BrainStorm project and learn about his journey as an early-career researcher. #mindscience #neuroscience #consciousness #brainstorm #cognitive #graph #visualization
