http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/optseq/

Software tool for automatically scheduling events for rapid-presentation event-related (RPER) fMRI experiments (the schedule is the order and timing of events). Events in RPER are presented closely enough in time that their hemodynamic responses will overlap. This requires that the onset times of the events be jittered in order to remove the overlap from the estimate of the hemodynamic response. RPER is highly resistant to habituation, expectation, and set because the subject does not know when the next stimulus will appear or which stimulus type it will be.

http://coins.mrn.org/

A web-based neuroimaging and neuropsychology software suite that offers versatile, automatable data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying and export all data, real-time reporting, and HIPAA and IRB compliant study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale neuroscience and neuropsychology researchers. COINS manages over over 400 studies, more than 265,000 clinical neuropsychological assessments, and 26,000 MRI, EEG, and MEG scan sessions collected from 18,000 participants at over ten institutions on topics related to the brain and behavior. As neuroimaging research continues to grow, dynamic neuroinformatics systems are necessary to store, retrieve, mine and share the massive amounts of data. The Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite (COINS) has been created to facilitate communication and cultivate a data community. This tool suite offers versatile data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying of data types and assessments, real-time reporting, and study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale researchers. It manages studies and their data at the Mind Research Network, the Nathan Kline Institute, University of Colorado Boulder, the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (at) Hartford Hospital, and others. COINS is dynamic and evolves as the neuroimaging field grows. COINS consists of the following collaboration-centric tools: * Subject and Study Management: MICIS (Medical Imaging Computer Information System) is a centralized PostgreSQL-based web application that implements best practices for participant enrollment and management. Research site administrators can easily create and manage studies, as well as generate reports useful for reporting to funding agencies. * Scan Data Collection: An automated DICOM receiver collects, archives, and imports imaging data into the file system and COINS, requiring no user intervention. The database also offers scan annotation and behavioral data management, radiology review event reports, and scan time billing. * Assessment Data Collection: Clinical data gathered from interviews, questionnaires, and neuropsychological tests are entered into COINS through the web application called Assessment Manager (ASMT). ASMT's intuitive design allows users to start data collection with little or no training. ASMT offers several options for data collection/entry: dual data entry, for paper assessments, the Participant Portal, an online tool that allows subjects to fill out questionnaires, and Tablet entry, an offline data entry tool. * Data Sharing: De-identified neuroimaging datasets with associated clinical-data, cognitive-data, and associated meta-data are available through the COINS Data Exchange tool. The Data Exchange is an interface that allows investigators to request and share data. It also tracks data requests and keeps an inventory of data that has already been shared between users. Once requests for data have been approved, investigators can download the data directly from COINS.

Neurolucida is advanced scientific software for brain mapping, neuron reconstruction, anatomical mapping, and morphometry. Since its debut more than 20 years ago, Neurolucida has continued to evolve and has become the worldwide gold-standard for neuron reconstruction and 3D mapping. Neurolucida has the flexibility to handle data in many formats: using live images from digital or video cameras; stored image sets from confocal microscopes, electron microscopes, and scanning tomographic sources, or through the microscope oculars using the patented LucividTM. Neurolucida controls a motorized XYZ stage for integrated navigation through tissue sections, allowing for sophisticated analysis from many fields-of-view. Neurolucidas Serial Section Manager integrates unlimited sections into a single data file, maintaining each section in aligned 3D space for full quantitative analysis. Neurolucidas neuron tracing capabilities include 3D measurement and reconstruction of branching processes. Neurolucida also features sophisticated tools for mapping delineate and map anatomical regions for detailed morphometric analyses. Neurolucida uses advanced computer-controlled microscopy techniques to obtain accurate results and speed your work. Plug-in modules are available for confocal and MRI analysis, 3D solid modeling, and virtual slide creation. The user-friendly interface gives you rapid results, allowing you to acquire data and capture the full 3D extent of neurons and brain regions. You can reconstruct neurons or create 3D serial reconstructions directly from slides or acquired images, and Neurolucida offers full microscope control for brightfield, fluorescent, and confocal microscopes. Its added compatibility with 64-bit Microsoft Vista enables reconstructions with even larger images, image stacks, and virtual slides. Adding the Solid Modeling Module allows you to rotate and view your reconstructions in real time. Neurolucida is available in two separate versions Standard and Workstation. The Standard version enables control of microscope hardware, whereas the Workstation version is used for offline analysis away from the microscope. Neurolucida provides quantitative analysis with results presented in graphical or spreadsheet format exportable to Microsoft Excel. Overall, features include: - Tracing Neurons - Anatomical Mapping - Image Processing and Analysis Features - Editing - Morphometric Analysis - Hardware Integration - Cell Analysis - Visualization Features Sponsors: Neurolucida is supported by MBF Bioscience.
