A web-based, interactive brain atlas viewer, containing a growing number of atlas templates for various species, including mouse, macaque and human. Standard features include fast brain region lookup, point and click to select a region and view its full 3D extent, mark a stereotaxic coordinate and view all regions in a hierarchy. Built-in extensions are the CoCoMac plugin, which provides a spatial display of Macaque connectivity, and a service to transform stereotaxic coordinates to and from the INCF Waxholm space for the mouse. Three dimensional renderings of brain regions are available through a Matlab interface (local installation of Matlab required). The SBA is designed to be customizable. External users can create plugins, hosted on their own servers, to interactively attach images or data to spatial atlas locations. This fully web-based display engine for brain atlases and topologies allows client websites to show brain region related data in a 3D interactive context. Currently available atlases are: * Macaque: The Paxinos Rhesus Monkey atlas (2000) * Macaque: Various templates available through Caret, registered to F99 space: Felleman and Van Essen (1991), Lewis and Van Essen (2000), Regional Map from K��tter and Wanke (2005), Paxinos Rhesus Monkey (2000) * Macaque: The NeuroMaps Macaque atlas (2008) * Mouse: The INCF Waxholm Space for the mouse (2011). Previous versions available. * Mouse: The Allen Mouse Brain volumetric atlas (ABA07) * Human: The LPBA40 parcellation, registered to SRI24 space A variety of services are being developed around the templates contained in the Scalable Brain Atlas. For example, you can include thumbnails of brain regions in your own webpage. Other applications include: * Analyze atlas templates in Matlab * List all regions belonging to the given template * List of supported atlas templates * Find region by coordinate * Color-coded PNG (bitmap) or SVG (vector) image of a brain atlas slice * Region thumbnail in 2D (slice) or 3D (stack of slices) The Scalable Brain Atlas is created by Rembrandt Bakker and Gleb Bezgin, under supervision of Rolf K��tter in the NeuroPhysiology and -Informatics group of the Donders Institute, Radboud UMC Nijmegen.

http://bric.unc.edu/ideagroup/free-softwares/ABSORB/

This software package implements an algorithm for effective groupwise registration. The required input is a set of 3D MR intensity images (in Analyze format with paired .hdr and .img files) with a text file (.txt) listing all header file (.hdr) names. The output is the set of registered images together with the corresponding dense deformation fields. This software has been tested on Windows XP (32-bit) and Linux (64-bit, kernel version 2.6.18-194.el5). The images should be pre-processed before applying ABSORB: * All brain MR images used as inputs to ABSORB should be in the same situation (e.g., skull-stripped or not, cerebellum removed or not, etc.). * The input images should be in Analyze format with paired header and image files. This software was developed in IDEA group in UNC-Chapel Hill.

Suite of programs developed for fMRI analysis in a Virtual Pipeline Laboratory facilitates combining program modules from different software packages into processing pipelines to create analysis solutions which are not possible with a single software package alone. Current pipelines include fMRI analysis, statistical testing based on randomization methods and fractal spectral analysis. Pipelines are continually being added. The software is mostly written in C. This fMRI analysis package supports batch processing and comprises the following general functions at the first level of individual image analysis: movement correction (interpolation and regression), time series modeling, data resampling in the wavelet domain, hypothesis testing at voxel and cluster levels. Additionally, there is code for second level analysis - group and factorial or ANOVA mapping - after co-registration of voxel statistic maps from individual images in a standard space. The main point of difference from other fMRI analysis packages is the emphasis throughout on the use of data resampling (permutation or randomization) as a basis for inference on individual, group and factorial test statistics at voxel and cluster levels of resolution.

http://wiki.biac.duke.edu/jvs:cigal

Software program that provides accurate real-time stimulus control, behavioral and physiological recording, and synchronization with external devices. It can also provide continuous real-time feedback of task performance and physiological responses. Task programming typically involves a simple text file specifying basic parameter settings (e.g. screen color) and a list of stimulus events, which can include images, animated movies, sound files, text stimuli, video graphics, or commands that communicate with external hardware devices. Multiple video and auditory stimuli can be presented simultaneously. Multi-channel response recording and real-time feedback features require no user programming. Advanced users can add customized stimulus events using CIGAL's real-time programming capabilities. Output files can be automatically created in a variety of output formats (e.g. FSL 3-column files, XML Events files, CSV trial tables).

MCML is a Monte Carlo simulation program for Multi-layered Turbid Media with an infinitely narrow photon beam as the light source. The simulation is specified by an input text file called, for example, sample.mci, which can be modified by any simple text editor. The output is another text file called, for example, sample.mco. (The names are arbitrary.) CONV is a convolution program which uses the MCML output file to convolve for photon beams of any size in a Gaussian or flat field shape. CONV can provide a variety of output formats (reflectance, transmission, iso-fluence contours, etc.), which are compatible with standard graphics applications.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/miva/

Software package that is a powerful graphical interface that displays, segments, aligns, manipulates, and blends image (pixel) and geometry (real-world coordinates) data simultaneously. Several applications are directly built into MIVA. Registration modes include interactive affine transformations. Fiducial registration tools facilitate rapid alignments for inter-modality volumes. Interactive Region of Interst (ROI) and Volume-of-Interest (VOI) tools exist to segment medical images. Virtually unique to MIVA are its 3D geometry tools and their compatibility with pixel based medical images. A full 3D interactive rat brain atlas is in an fMRI module which walks one through the necessary steps of fMRI. A multiple material surface routine takes segmented medical slices and creates 3D triangulated surfaces that align along all region boarders without overlap or gaps. These surfaces are the direct input into the MIVA tetrahedral mesh generator.
