Data Visualisation is…...
● The translation of data from big tables of numbers into a visual format
● Trends, correlations, outliers and errors in the data all jump out more quickly when visualised
● Human cognitive functions respond far more quickly to visual stimulae
● Democratising data

It’s really just a brain hack...
“Visual analytics is the representation and presentation of data that exploits our visual perception abilities in order to amplify cognition.”
