Brain Connectivity Leap Filipe Sobreira Rodrigues Champalimaud FoundationHello, my name is Filipe Rodrigues and I'm a biomedical engineer from Lisbon who's recently started working as a research technician at the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme. This is something I developed in Unity3D (with a Leap Motion controller) while I was still at the Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering (IBEB), working on my master's thesis. It is essentially an interactive VR interface in which the user can use his/her hands to disturb a 3D reconstruction (based on T1-weighted MR images) of a human brain and its underlying network of connectivity graphs (calculated using DTI).

UK Biobank Brain Imaging Fidel Alfaro AlmagroFMRIB - Oxford University
UK Biobank is a large-scale (500,000 participants) open access prospective epidemiological study. It is now in the process of bringing back 100,000 of the original participants for brain, heart and body MRI, carotid ultrasound and DXA bone/fat imaging. The brain imaging covers 6 modalities (T1, T2 FLAIR, swMRI, Resting fMRI, Task fMRI and Diffusion MRI). Data from the first 5,000 subjects has recently been acquired and released for general research access.
MRI Data Visualization Tyler ArdUniversity of Southern California, Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging
A visualization of MRI data from a single subject. Data includes a T1-weighted image from which we derive the brain surface and the hippocampal segmentation (blue) via Freesurfer, and diffusion tractography. Data was collected with care, and visualized with awesome.
All connections lead to the Brainstem Nicolás DelgadoMintLabs S.L.
Starting from the brainstem, all its connections start growing and activate the connected regions. One of the destination regions is randomly chosen and its connections start growing iteratively.

This interactive installation uses high resolution state-of-the-art data derived from the Leipzig Max Planck Institute‚Äôs magnetic resonance imaging systems. In addition to the cortical anatomy, we visualise the shape of anatomical connections between functional areas. "Staging the Connectome" allows viewers to explore the brain and its connections while navigating the data with their own movement. An Xbox Kinect tracks the position of the users‚Äô heads inside the room. For one viewer, one or multiple perpendicular slices are projected with a very direct coupling of user movement and slice transition‚Äîit feels like walking through your own brain. For two viewers, two so-called regions of interest are coupled with the viewers‚Äô head positions, and the fibre connections between these two are displayed. In this visualisation format you can explore neuroscientific data in an intuitive way‚ the proportions of the brain are respected and directly translate into the virtual brain space of approximately 3.5 by 2.5 by 2.5 meters.
