Abstract
Neuroscientists analyse publications to inform experiment design. Exploring direct relations between topics, such as brain diseases and regions, aids this process. Brain diseases may also connect indirectly to regions through topics such as mental processes. We aim to establish whether exploring indirect relations helps design experiments.Using a user-centred design approach, we interview neuroscientists to establish the usefulness of exploring indirect relations, specify functionality, and design a corresponding visualisation. Nine neuroscientists indicated the visualisation is suitable to present the functionality, the functionality is useful to explore indirect relations, and exploring indirect relations is useful to design experiments.
