This is a method for generating static and moving information graphics. The method allows for the novel mapping of raw data to a intermediate format and then associating the intermediate format with graphical features of a visual display. The display features are tailored to the encoding format of visual neurons, including but not limited to the receptive fields of the LGN, V1, V2, MT and MSTd. The utility of the method is to provide a visualization to communicate high dimensional data sets to a human user in a format that has one or more of the following properties: is highly intuitive, maximizes bit rate, supports judgment for a classification task, facilitates outlier detection, emphasizes relevant differences in data sets, and enables visual inference.
