Weave (BETA 1.0) is a new web-based visualization platform designed to enable visualization of any available data by anyone for any purpose. Weave is an application development platform supporting multiple levels of user proficiency - novice to advanced - as well as the ability to integrate, disseminate and visualize data at "nested" levels of geography.
The brain's visual neurons continually develop predictions of what they will perceive and then correct erroneous assumptions as they take in additional external information, according to new research done at Duke University.
"World Wind is a free, open source API for a virtual globe. World Wind allows developers to quickly and easily create interactive visualizations of 3D globe, map and geographical information. Organizations across the world use World Wind to monitor weather patterns, visualize cities and terrain, track the movement of planes, vehicles and ships, analyze geospatial data, and educate people about the Earth."

"I am interested in the neurobiology of visual perception, visual cognition, and motor control. Neurocognitive processes underlying social perception and social cognition form the second focus of my research."
The New Library of Alexandria, the New Bibliotheca Alexandrina is dedicated to recapture the spirit of openness and scholarship of the original Bibliotheca Alexandrina. It is much more than a library. It contains: A Library that can hold millions of books.An Internet ArchiveSix specialized libraries for Arts, multimedia and audio-visual materials, the visually impaired, children, the young, microforms, and rare books and special collections
NEIL (Never Ending Image Learner) is a computer program that runs 24 hours per day and 7 days per week to automatically extract visual knowledge from Internet data. It is an effort to build the world's largest visual knowledge base with minimum human labeling effort - one that would be useful to many computer vision and AI efforts. See current statistics about how much NEIL knows about our world!!
"Researchers at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research have developed a new mathematical model to describe how the human brain visually identifies objects. The model accurately predicts human performance on certain visual-perception tasks, which suggests that it's a good indication of what actually happens in the brain, and it could also help improve computer object-recognition systems."
Visual search is an important task for the brain. Surprisingly, even in a complex task like detecting an object in a scene with distractions, we find that people's performance is near optimal. That means that the brain manages to do the best possible job given the available information, according to
"Vicarious is developing machine learning software based on the computational principles of the human brain. Our first technology is a visual perception system that interprets the contents of photographs and videos in a manner similar to humans. Powering this technology is a new computational paradigm we call the Recursive Cortical Network ™"

"The Science of Science (Sci2) Tool is a modular toolset specifically designed for the study of science. It supports the temporal, geospatial, topical, and network analysis and visualization of scholarly datasets at the micro (individual), meso (local), and macro (global) levels."
"GapVis is an interface for exploring and reading texts that reference ancient places. It includes maps and data visualizations that show what locations are referred to a different points in the narrative and allows you to dig into the details to learn more."
The Singularity is a VERY rapid intelligence explosion. Each year we progress quicker. Visualize perfect immortality, eternal youth for everyone, no wrinkles. Every illness will be cured. Everything will be free, no poverty. We will colonize and explore Space. Our bodies and minds will be improved via genetic and technological modification. It's all about Artificial Intelligence, synthetic biology, biotech, nanotech, nanobots, robotics, 3D-Printing, DNA manipulation, Stem Cells. The Singularity is massively awesome utopia, perfect happiness.
AskMe - Experiment Publisher is a simple to use software package for users to publish their large scale life science experiment data on to the web by use of data mining and visualization concepts. With use of AskMe, scientists can share these datasets easily with their collaborators or they can be made publicly accessible to the scientific community by Sciencenet - our distributed peer to peer search and share engine.
Print Wikipedia is a both a utilitarian visualization of the largest accumulation of human knowledge and a poetic gesture towards the futility of the scale of big data. Mandiberg has written software that parses the entirety of the English-language Wikipedia database and programmatically lays out thousands of volumes, complete with covers, and then uploads them for print-on-demand.
Long & short form articles, headlines & summaries written entirely by software, that derive insight from data. Powerful Charts, tables, graphs, dashboards & other visualizations that make data come alive
Powerful and extensible JS data grid and explorer built on Backbone. Recline combines a data grid, Google Refine-style data transforms and visualizations all in lightweight javascript and html. Designed for standalone use or as a library to integrate into your own app. Recline builds on the powerful but lightweight Backbone framework making it extremely easy to extend and adapt and its modular design means you only have to take what you need.
ChronoZoom is an intuitive on-line tool used to visualize all of time, from the Big Bang to today, using the concept of zooming along the timeline to express distance to highlight the scope of time.
