Waves are a fundamental mechanism for conveying information in many physical problems.
Direct visualization techniques are often used to display wave fronts. However, the information
derived from such visualizations may not be as central to an investigation as an understanding of how
the location, structure and time course of the wave change as key experimental parameters are varied.
In experimental data, these questions are confounded by noise and incomplete data. Recognition of waves
in networks of neurons is additionally complicated by the presence of long-range physical connections
and recurrent excitation. This paper applies visual techniques to analyze the structural details of waves in
response data from the turtle visual cortex. We emphasize low-cost visualizations that allow comparisons
across neural data sets and variables to reconstruct the choreography for a complex response.
