Remember the viral studies inferring some people are less likely to think visually?

Well some DECISIONS are also less likely to involve #visualation — e.g., #finance versus #recreation: doi.org/10.1080/2044...

And visual vividness predicted #risk taking: doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

Financial decisions were about 4 times more likely to involve analytic reasoning (45%) than visual imagery (12%). Recreational decisions were about 3 times more likely to involve visual imagery (31%) than analytic reasoning (12%). Mental imagery was similarly easy to generate and it was similarly vivid across financial and recreational decisions. The vividness of imagery during decision-making predicts risk-taking. Conclusions • Mental imagery seems to be a distinct decision-making mode that complements other established modes (calculation, affect, recognition). • Its application is context-dependent: Recreational decisions (experiential, concrete) - imagery use is more tural, images are more vivid, and their valence stronger predicts risk-taking willingness. • Financial decisions (abstract, analytical) - imagery use is less frequent and less influential; calculation seem to dominate. • Implication: Decision-making frameworks should include imagery-based processing as a mode that bridges cognition and emotion, particularly in experiential domains.

Results are good. Now just need to work out the best workflow for processing the data.
A combined visualation of the digital feature model and the VAT model. It shows the earthworks of the castle clearly. Also apparent is the badger setts disturbing the keep. A profile across the lidar point cloud, showing the ditches and ramparts of the fortress and the structure of the forest canopy. The points are coloured by return number. A combination of multi scale TPI and VAT visualizations. It's somewhat psychedelic, in a way that's hard to describe in words. Imagine that dodgy neon tie-dye stuff that was incomprehensibly popular in the mid '90s.

this is still my favorite of all the ones ive done
idk why but i like seeing the internals, its not just a pretty visualisation it's a pretty visualation with Maths and days of trial and error behind the curtain
