Scientists have developed a new method to display large amounts of data in a color-coded, easy-to-read graph. Neuroscientists originally designed the method to interpret enormous amounts of data derived from their research on the human brain. The method, called a five dimensional (5D) colorimetric technique, is able to graph spatiotemporal data (data that includes both space and time), which has not previously been achieved. Until now, spatiotemporal problems were analyzed either from a spatial perspective or from a time-based approach.
