Visual Analytics and Interactive Machine Learning for Human Brain Data

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)This study mainly focuses on applying visualization techniques on human brain data for data exploration, quality control, and hypothesis discovery. It mainly consists of two parts: multi-modal data visualization and interactive machine learning. For multi-modal data visualization, a major challenge is how to integrate structural, functional and connectivity data to form a comprehensive visual context. We develop a new integrated visualization solution for brain imaging data by combining scientific and information visualization techniques within the context of the same anatomic structure. For interactive machine learning, we propose a new visual analytics approach to interactive machine learning. In this approach, multi-dimensional data visualization techniques are employed to facilitate user interactions with the machine learning process. This allows dynamic user feedback in different forms, such as data selection, data labeling, and data correction, to enhance the efficiency of model building
