Part I: Experimental Design and Analysis for Human-Subject Visualization Experiments; Part II: Perceptual Issues for Visualization and Evaluation

These tutorials will discuss two related issues: the design and analysis of human-subject experiments, and perceptual issues that are often the subject or complicating factors in such designs.

Part I of the tutorial will illustrate basic aspects of experimental design and data analysis techniques.

Part II of the tutorial will explore perceptual issues that affect the design of perceptual experiments, with emphasis on motion and attention. Thus this tutorial offers insights into considering possible hypotheses for perceptual aspects of visualization and into methods that will enable visualization designers to test those hypotheses according to established techniques. While both parts of this tutorial build upon previous offerings, visualization designers and evaluators at all levels of experience are expected to benefit.
