Bio BrainInfo Macaque Atlas For several years I have been working on a major component of BrainInfo, its 3-dimensional digital brain Atlas. The findings of brain research are often expressed as pictures. By mapping these pictures to a single 3D model of the brain, this project will enable scientists to locate and compare a wide range of results far more quickly. Rapid computerized access to findings in each part of the brain will accelerate creativity and progress in the effort to find treatments for brain diseases. The Atlas has been created for spatial mapping of data into a ‘database in the shape of a brain’. Each image from the literature is adjusted for individual variability by 'mapping' the data it contains into the reference Atlas for comparison with other mapped data. The BrainInfo Macaque Atlas will give the neuroscience community a single interface to macaque brain images.
