Visualization is ultimately a
  psycho-physiological phenomenon.
  This remark could be exploited in solving some
  current challenges of visualization research.
  One of the most striking
  fact of biological vision is its use of foveated
  images
 in which the resolution is higher
  at the fovea than at the periphery.
  Such images have remarkably low data density
  compared to uniform images.  To compensate for the loss
  of uniform resolution, we must provide
  new degrees of active control
 to
  the visualiser.  Our research is focused on
  developing such techniques and applications.
