Mind Blowing Images of Your Brain

The Human Connectome Project (HCP) features brilliant images collected using Trackvis software and the Connectome 3T scanner.  The HCP was featured in our post on the Top Neuroscience projects.  

In the images below, white matter fiber architecture of the brain. Measured from diffusion spectral imaging (DSI). The fibers are color-coded by direction: red = left-right, green = anterior-posterior, blue = through brain stem. Data provided by: Randy Buckner, PhD. Software: Trackvis. All Visualization by Vaughan Greer.

The HCP also features a Relationship Viewer.  This interactive viewer interprets data from the Connectivity Matrix. Information about our data can be found on the Data webpage. Created by the LONI Scientific Visualization Team. 

The Human Connectome Project aims to provide an unparalleled compilation of neural data, an interface to graphically navigate this data and the opportunity to achieve never before realized conclusions about the living human brain.  Check out their site, and their Facebook page for more.
