Neuro-Carto Visual Contrast: Results and Findings - P. William Limpisathian, University of Wisconsin

Neuro-Carto Visual Contrast: Results and Findings - P. William Limpisathian, University of Wisconsin-Madison
As a follow-up to my ongoing dissertation research on the neurological correlates of cartographic visual contrast cognition, I will discuss the results of my parallel behavioral and fMRI neuroimaging experiments. The anticipated findings will better cartographic and neuroscientific understanding and potentially systematize the role of visual contrast in the map cognition process. Further, I will reflect on identified regions of the brain associated with map reading and design-centric information decoding that are currently poorly understood. Lastly, I will discuss how this project serves as a precursor for a future body of neuro-cartographic research.
This presentation was made at the 2022 annual meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS). For more information on NACIS, check out NACIS.org.
