🌍 Website: MAP-VERSE Repository
Welcome to MAP-VERSE! We are building a unique data discovery repository dedicated to advancing empirical research in map usability and spatial cognition.
Our goal is to foster open science and collaboration by creating a centralized, queryable repository for metadata from open-access map usability studies. This collection includes publicly shared datasets recorded during geospatial tasks, such as map reading and navigation.
By developing this repository, we strive to:
✔ Encourage standardized reporting of user studies (minimum reporting standards)
✔ Showcase best practices in map reading studies
✔ Increase generalizability and reproducibility of findings
This repository serves as a queryable metadata repository for open-access datasets related to:
🔹 Eye Tracking 👀
🔹 Neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI) 🧠
🔹 Human Sensing (EDA, cardiovascular activity, skin temperature) ❤️🔥
All datasets are recorded during geospatial tasks (a.k.a. map reading user studies), and the repository links to open datasets shared elsewhere (e.g., Zenodo, Harvard Dataverse).
We welcome contributions! If you're interested in map usability research, spatial cognition, or human sensing studies, feel free to explore and collaborate.
📩 For inquiries, contact us or submit an issue on GitHub.
🚀 Let's advance open science together!
