Communicating our scientific findings benefits tremendously from clear, effective, and easily implementable visualization of results. Various analysis tools generate default visualizations with varying degrees of clarity and comprehension. Modern tools allow scientists to customize their brain visualizations, but getting started with coding for visualization poses a major challenge to many trainees and experienced scientists alike. In this presentation, Dr. Yee will describe the Grammar of Graphics framework (Wickham, 2010; doi:10.1198/jcgs.2009.07098) to visualize data and provide a hands-on walkthrough for visualizing structural and functional MRI results within this framework. Using R and/or Python packages, participants will be guided on how to implement code to visualize their data in a clean and reproducible manner. Participants will gain the knowledge on how to practically implement the guidelines described in the previous talk and will leave this talk with a basic pipeline for visualizing neuroimaging results that they can use and adapt for their own research.
