NeuroPub Visualizer

This is a visualizer for statistical brain images (fMRI, VBM, etc). The visualizer displays these images as overlay on the MNI standard brain. It's the perfect app to bring to meetings, conferences, etc, and show your latest results. The app visualises the brain in both 2D and 3D.

The visualizer reads NIfTI files, which you can import from other apps like Mail or Dropbox. The .nii files must be in the same resolution as the 2x2x2 standard brain that comes with FSL or SPM. The .nii file has to be in float format. NeuroPub also supports compressed format (.nii.gz).

Please notice that although anyone can download and play with the app, it's mostly useful if you have your own NIfTI images and are doing brain research.

An example image is included with the app (example.nii.gz), but it will disappear from the image list when you upload your own images.

Please check the NeuroPub website for further information or if you have any questions: www.neuropub.com

The MNI template brain that comes with the tool is the ICBM 2009b Nonlinear Asymmetric brain (Copyright (C) 1993–2004 Louis Collins, McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University).

First NIFTI viewer! Thankyou!

I have been waiting for this tool for quite a while! Thankyou thankyou! I know it is only the first version. I didn't realize we'd get a 3d brain along with the 3 orthogonal views. That is very nice. One of the most useful additions I can imagine (probably already on the list) is to display multiple overlays at once, and to have control over the color tables. It also seems that as I rotate the 3d brain after switching rendering order, my blob appears to "move" to different locations on the rendering. Of course, zoom would be terrific, and transparency control. Wouldn't it be cool to support the FSL atlases? I thought it was very useful to explicitly remind folks of the command to make the images into floats: (if you are an fsl user): fslmaths in.nii out.nii -odt float Anyhow, I'm overjoyed. Thanks so much for all your hard work. Surely the neuroimaging community will appreciate this (you should post on the fsl and spm listserves).

Update?

This is an awesome beginning, but a new version is mentioned in the OHBM 2011 abstract. Does that version exist somewhere? The neruopub website appears dormant.
