Abstract
In the present contribution the authors show the application of SOMs for visualization of physiological parameters of patients and therapists in psycho-therapy sessions. Thereby, using the topology preserving property of SOMs a color representation can be generated allowing an easy assessment of the underlying parameter change which can be interpreted by the therapists. To achieve the topology preserving map a growing extension of the SOM was used together with a magnification control strategy which maximizes the mutual information of the network.
