Designed especially for neurobiologists, FluoRender is an interactive tool for multi-channel fluorescence microscopy data visualization and analysis.
Deep brain stimulation
BrainStimulator is a set of networks that are used in SCIRun to perform simulations of brain stimulation such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and magnetic transcranial stimulation (TMS).
Developing software tools for science has always been a central vision of the SCI Institute.

Mission Statement

This group aims to facilitate students, faculty, and curious onlooker knowledge of state-of-the-art techniques in all areas of Visualization (scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics). To accomplish this, as a group we will read and discuss seminal works, best papers, and other papers of interest.

Format

  • A 1-3 paragraph paper summary will be provided by the discussion leader the night before the meeting.
  • At the open, the discussion leader will summarize the paper.
  • Open discussion will commence. Everyone should come prepared, having read the paper, along with 1 positive attribute of the paper, 1 negative attribute of the paper, and 1 question about the paper or a topic for future research.

Schedule

Held weekly on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in Halvorsen Conference Room (WEB 4640). Drop-ins welcome.
To join the mailing list, please e-mail Paul at (prosen at sci dot utah dot edu)
