==================

* Why visualization?

1. make use of hardware (more than cognition sectors of the brain)
2. external memory
3. cognitive -> perceptual
4. grouping / help search / make perceptual inferences
5. appeal
6. turn time into space

efficiency
patterns
evoke other knowledge

on ways to amp cognition:
 - increased resources
 - reduced search
 - enhanced recognition of patterns
 - perceptual inference 
 - perceptive monitoring
 - manipulable medium (moreover, can add 'time' to it)

--> need to take into account in designing visualizations.
