The SenseLab Project is a long-term effort to build integrated, multidisciplinary models of neurons and neural systems. It was founded in 1993 as part of the original Human Brain Project, which began the development of neuroinformatics tools in support of neuroscience research. It is now part of the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) and the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF). The SenseLab project involves novel informatics approaches to constructing databases and database tools for collecting and analyzing neuroscience information, using the olfactory system as a model, with extension to other brain systems. SenseLab contains seven related databases that support experimental and theoretical research on the membrane properties: CellPropDB, NeuronDB, ModelDB, ORDB, OdorDB, OdorMapDB, BrainPharmA pilot Web portal that successfully integrates multidisciplinary neurocience data.

An ImageJ plugin for morphological data mining, three-dimensional modeling and image stitching, registration, editing and annotation. Two independent modalities exist: either XML-based projects, working directly with the file system, or database-based projects, working on top of a local or remote PostgreSQL database. What can you do with it? * Semantic segmentation editor: order segmentations in tree hierarchies, whose template is exportable for reuse in other, comparable projects. * Model, visualize and export 3D. * Work from your laptop on your huge, remote image storage. * Work with an endless number of images, limited only by the hard drive capacity. Dozens of formats supported thanks to LOCI Bioformats and ImageJ. * Import stacks and even entire grids (montages) of images, automatically stitch them together and homogenize their histograms for best montaging quality. * Add layers conveniently. A layer represents, for example, one 50 nm section (for TEM) or a confocal section. Each layer has its own Z coordinate and thickness, and contains images, labels, areas, nodes of 3d skeletons, profiles... * Insert layer sets into layers: so your electron microscopy serial sections can live inside your optical microscopy sections. * Run any ImageJ plugin on any image. * Measure everything: areas, volumes, pixel intensities, etc. using both built-in data structures and segmentation types, and standard ImageJ ROIs. And with double dissectors! * Visualize RGB color channels changing the opacity of each on the fly, non-destructively. * Annotate images non-destructively with floating text labels, which you can rotate/scale on the fly and display in any color. * Montage/register/stitch/blend images manually with transparencies, semiautomatically, or fully automatically within and across sections, with translation, rigid, similarity and affine models with automatically extracted SIFT features. * Correct the lens distortion present in the images, like those generated in transmission electron microscopy. * Add alpha masks to images using ROIs, for example to split images in two or more parts, or to remove the borders of an image or collection of images. * Model neuronal arbors with 3D skeletons (with areas or radiuses), and synapses with connectors. * Undo all steps. And much more...

BCI2000 is a general-purpose system for brain-computer interface (BCI) and adaptive neurotechnology research. It can also be used for data acquisition, stimulus presentation, and brain monitoring applications. The mission of the BCI2000 project is to facilitate research and applications in the areas described. Their vision is that BCI2000 will become a widely used software tool for diverse areas of real-time biosignal processing. In order to achieve this vision, BCI2000 system is available for free for non-profit research and educational purposes. BCI2000 supports a variety of data acquisition systems, brain signals, and study/feedback paradigms. During operation, BCI2000 stores data in a common format (BCI2000 native or GDF), along with all relevant event markers and information about system configuration. BCI2000 also includes several tools for data import/conversion (e.g., a routine to load BCI2000 data files directly into Matlab) and export facilities into ASCII. BCI2000 also facilitates interactions with other software. For example, Matlab scripts can be executed in real-time from within BCI2000, or BCI2000 filters can be compiled to execute as stand-alone programs. Furthermore, a simple network-based interface allows for interactions with external programs written in any programming language. For example, a robotic arm application that is external to BCI2000 may be controlled in real time based on brain signals processed by BCI2000, or BCI2000 may use and store along with brain signals behavioral-based inputs such as eye-tracker coordinates. Because it is based on a framework whose services can support any BCI implementation, the use of BCI2000 provides maximum benefit to comprehensive research programs that operate multiple BCI2000 installations to collect data for a variety of studies. The most important benefits of the system in such situations are: - A Proven Solution - Facilitates Operation of Research Programs - Facilitates Deployment in Multiple Sites - Cross-Platform and Cross-Compiler Compatibility - Open Resource Sponsors: BCI2000 development is sponsored by NIH/NIBIB R01 and NIH/NINDS U24 grants.

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 set of manually-guided expert segmentation results along with magnetic resonance brain image data. Its purpose is to encourage the development and evaluation of segmentation methods by providing raw test and image data, human expert segmentation results, and methods for comparing segmentation results. Please see the MediaWiki for more information. This repository is meant to contain standard test image data sets which will permit a standardized mechanism for evaluation of the sensitivity of a given analysis method to signal to noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, shape complexity, degree of partial volume effect, etc. This capability is felt to be essential to further development in the field since many published algorithms tend to only operate successfully under a narrow range of conditions which may not extend to those experienced under the typical clinical imaging setting. This repository is also meant to describe and discuss methods for the comparison of results.

A calculator that calculates the prediction models for 6 month outcome after Traumatic Brain Injury. Based on extensive prognostic analysis the IMPACT investigators have developed prognostic models for predicting 6 month outcome in adult patients with moderate to severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale <=12) on admission. By entering the characteristics into the calculator, the models will provide an estimate of the expected outcome at 6 months. We present three models of increasing complexity (Core, Core + CT, Core + CT + Lab). These models were developed and validated in collaboration with the CRASH trial collaborators on large numbers of individual patient data (the IMPACT database). The models discriminate well, and are particularly suited for purposes of classification and characterization of large cohorts of patients. Extreme caution is required when applying the estimated prognosis to individual patients. The sequential prediction models may be used as an aid to estimate 6 month outcome in patients with severe or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the prediction rule can only complement, never replace, clinical judgment and can therefore be used only as a decision-support system.

https://kimlab.io/brain-map/epDevAtlas/

Suite of open access resources including 3D atlases of early postnatally developing mouse brain and mapped cell type density growth charts, which can be used as standalone resources or to implement data integration. Web platform can be utilized to analyze and visualize the spatiotemporal growth of GABAergic, microglial, and cortical layer-specific cell type densities in 3D. Morphologically averaged symmetric template brains serve as the basis reference space and coordinate system with an isotropic resolution of 20 μm (XYZ in coronal plane). Average transformations were conducted at 20 μm voxel resolution by interpolating high resolution serial two photon tomography images from primarily Vip-IRES-Cre;Ai14 mice at postnatal (P) ages P4, P6, P8, P10, P12, and P14. For all ages, anatomical labels from the P56 Allen Mouse Brain Common Coordinate Framework (Allen CCFv3) were iteratively down registered to each early postnatal time point in a non-linear manner, aided by manual parcellations of landmarks in 3D, consistent with the Allen Mouse Reference Atlas Ontology.
