Are people able to tell apart a random configuration of lines and dots from a work of art? Previous studies have shown that untrained viewers can distinguish between abstract art made by professional artists, children, or apes. Pieces made by artists were perceived as more intentionally made and organized than the rest. However, these studies used paintings by prominent abstract artists (e.

It is widely believed that being mimicked causes liking and social bonding, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain largely unknown. Additionally, it is unclear whether similar effects arise when abstract choices or physical actions are mimicked. In this study, we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to examine the involvement of temporal and parietal brain regions during in-person interactions in which participants were either mimicked by a confederate in terms of their motor movements (= 30) or their choices (= 30).

Earth, our home planet, is changing at an unprecedented rate due to human industrial activity. Data visualization can uniquely illuminate these complex transformations by revealing hidden patterns, thereby translating abstract data into compelling narratives and increased understanding. How can we harness visualization's full potential to inform and inspire our generation toward environmental awareness and stewardship? This article reports on insights and key challenges from the 2024 IEEE VIS workshop on climate action and sustainability whose submissions paint a rich picture of the current, yet still nascent, landscape of how the field of visualization can help empower people to take meaningful steps toward environmental stewardship.

Abstract: Tributyltin (TBT) is a toxic compound used in antifouling paints and known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, including female reproductive dysfunction. We hypothesized that TBT exposure during gestation and lactation induces long-term reproductive alterations in female offspring. Pregnant Wistar rats were orally exposed from gestational day 7 to the end of lactation to 0.
