Cognitive Science Visualization
Cognitive Science Visualization
Purpose
This skill encodes domain-specific visualization knowledge for cognitive science and neuroscience. It covers which plot types to use for different data types, field conventions for brain data visualization, color accessibility standards, and publication formatting requirements. A general-purpose data scientist would produce suboptimal or misleading figures without this knowledge.
When to Use This Skill
- Creating figures for a cognitive science or neuroscience manuscript
- Visualizing RT distributions, ERP waveforms, fMRI results, or behavioral data
- Choosing colors, scales, and formatting for publication
- Reviewing whether a figure follows field conventions and accessibility standards
Research Planning Protocol
Before creating visualizations, you MUST:
- State the purpose — What message should this figure communicate? What comparison or pattern should be visible?
- Justify the plot choice — Why this plot type? What alternatives were considered?
