In this paper, we present novel approaches to teaching data science and visualization to blind students in an online setting. Taught by blind instructors, nine blind learners having a wide range of professional backgrounds participated in a two-week summer course. We describe the course design, teaching strategies, and learning outcomes. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities of teaching data science and visualization to blind students. Our work contributes to the growing body of knowledge on accessible data science and visualization education, and provides insights into the design of online courses for blind students.</p>","PeriodicalId":72959,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics/IEEE VGTC Symposium on Visualization : EUROVIS : [proceedings].

Since manually tracking cells in a video sequence is extremely time-consuming, many automatic algorithms have been developed in the last twenty years to accomplish the task. However, none of these algorithms can yet claim robust tracking performance at the varying of acquisition conditions (e.g., cell type, acquisition device, cell treatments). While many visualization tools exist to help with cell behavior analysis, there are no tools to help with the algorithm's validation. This paper proposes CellTrackVis, a new visualization tool for evaluating cell tracking algorithms. CellTrackVis allows comparing automatically generated cell tracks with ground truth data to help biologists select the best-suited algorithm for their experimented pipeline. Moreover, CellTackVis can be used as a debugging tool while developing a new cell tracking algorithm to investigate where, when, and why each tracking error occurred.</p>","PeriodicalId":72959,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics/IEEE VGTC Symposium on Visualization : EUROVIS : [proceedings].

Existing studies on analyzing human connectome data are primarily focused on characterizing the brain networks with a small number of easily computable measures that may be inadequate for revealing complex relationship between brain function and its structural substrate. To facilitate large-scale connectomic analysis, in this paper, we propose a powerful and flexible volume rendering scheme to effectively visualize and interactively explore thousands of network measures in the context of brain anatomy, and to aid pattern discovery. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by applying it to a real connectome data set.</p>","PeriodicalId":72959,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics/IEEE VGTC Symposium on Visualization : EUROVIS : [proceedings].
