Visualization of Multi-Dimensional Data -- The data-slicer Package

From prehistoric cave-wall paintings to the invention of print and most recently electronic harddisks, human data storage capacity has evolved tremendously. Information/data is of great value and hence associated with innovation and technological progress. This is especially true in analytical disciplines i.e. all sciences ranging from physics to psychology and medicine. In observational sciences, most measurement techniques undergo steady improvements in acquisition time and resolution. As a result the sheer data throughput is continually increasing. Examples of techniques where the typical data output has moved from 1D to 3D in the past few decades are shown in Figure
