https://www.msu.edu/~brains/brains/human/index.html

A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp

Also included lobe atlas used for ANIMAL+INSECT segmentation, brain mask, eye mask and face mask. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.11. Sampling is different from 2009a template. * ICBM 2009c Nonlinear Asymmetric template - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, and tissue probabilities maps. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.11 Also included brain mask, eye mask and face mask.Sampling is different from 2009a template. All templates are describing the same anatomy, but sampling is different. Also, different versions of N3 algorithm produces slightly different tissue probability maps.

An unbiased standard magnetic resonance imaging template brain volume for pediatric data from the 4.5 to 18.5y age range. These volumes were created using data from 324 children enrolled in the NIH-funded MRI study of normal brain development (Almli et al., 2007, Evans and Group 2006). Tools for using these atlases can be found in the Software section. To view the atlases online, click on the appropriate JIV2 link in the Download section. You can download templates constructed for different age ranges. For each age range you will get an average T1w, T2w, PDw maps normalized between 0 and 100 and tissue probability maps, with values between 0 and 1. Also each age range includes a binary brain mask.

It is an interdisciplinary research group dedicated to tackling the ethical, legal, policy and social implications of frontier technological developments in the neurosciences. Our objective is to align innovations in the brain sciences with societal, cultural and individual human values through high impact research, education and outreach. The Core''s major research projects are focused on high impact, high visibility areas including the use of drugs and devices for neuroenhancement, ethics in neurodegenerative disease and regenerative medicine research, international and cross-cultural challenges in brain research, neuroimaging in the private sector, and the ethics of personalized medicine, among others. Members of the Core also lead initiatives aside from their research projects. Sponsors: This Core is supported by the University of Brititsh Columbia.

http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Tracula

Software tool developed for automatically reconstructing a set of major white matter pathways in the brain from diffusion weighted images using probabilistic tractography. This method utilizes prior information on the anatomy of the pathways from a set of training subjects. By incorporating this prior knowledge in the reconstruction procedure, our method obviates the need for manual intervention with the tract solutions at a later stage and thus facilitates the application of tractography to large studies. The trac-all script is used to preprocess raw diffusion data (correcting for eddy current distortion and B0 field inhomogenities), register them to common spaces, model and reconstruct major white matter pathways (included in the atlas) without any manual intervention. trac-all may be used to execute all the above steps or parts of it depending on the dataset and user''''s preference for analyzing diffusion data. Alternatively, scripts exist to execute chunks of each processing pipeline, and individual commands may be run to execute a single processing step. To explore all the options in running trac-all please refer to the trac-all wiki. In order to use this script to reconstruct tracts in Diffusion images, all the subjects in the dataset must have Freesurfer Recons.

Data sets from the atlasing of the basal ganglia (ATAG) consortium, which provides ultra-high resolution 7Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from young, middle-aged, and elderly participants. They include whole-brain and reduced field-of-view MP2RAGE and T2 scans with ultra-high resolution at a sub millimeter scale. The data can be used to develop new algorithms that help building new high-resolution atlases both in the basic and clinical neurosciences. They can also be used to inform the exact positioning of deep-brain electrodes relevant in patients with Parkinsons disease and neuropsychiatric diseases.

Portal and tools for sharing and editing neurophysiological and behavioral data for brain-machine interface research. Users can search for existing data or login with their Google, Facebook, or Twitter account and upload new data. Their main focus is on supporting brain-machine interface research, so we encourage users to not just provide recordings of brain activity data, but also information about stimuli, etc., so that statistical relationships can be found between stimuli and/or subject behavior and brain activity. The Matlab tools are for writing, reading, and converting Neuroshare files, the common file format. A free, open source desktop tool for editing neurophysiological data for brain-machine interface research is also available: https://github.com/ATR-DNI/BrainLiner Since data formats aren''''t standardized between programs and researchers, data and analysis programs for data cannot be easily shared. Neuroshare was selected as the common file format. Neuroshare can contain several types of neurophysiological data because of its high flexibility, including analog time-series data and neuronal spike timing. Some applications have plug-ins or libraries available that can read Neuroshare format files, thus making Neuroshare somewhat readily usable. Neuroshare can contain several types of neurophysiological data, but there were no easy tools to convert data into the Neuroshare format, so they made and are providing a Neuroshare Converter Library and Simple Converter using the library. In future work they will make and provide many more useful tools for data sharing. Shared experiments include: EMG signal, Takemiya Exp, Reconstruct (Visual image reconstruction from human brain activity using a combination of multi-scale local image decoders), SPIKE data, Speech Imagery Dataset (Single-trial classification of vowel speech imagery using common spatial patterns), Functional Multineuron Calcium Imaging (fMCI), Rock-paper-scissors (The data was obtained from subject while he make finger-form of rock/paper/scissors). They also have a page at https://www.facebook.com/brainliner where you can contact us
