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.

valerio-doeCongratulations to Valerio Pascucci who has been recognized as a DOE Fellow. Dr. Pascucci was inducted in September at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) where he is a member of the Scientific Data Management Group. The designation of DOE Fellow is the top scientific achievement designation within DOE and recognizes an individual's outstanding contributions to the scientific and engineering community.
iv3d-mobileThe ImageVis3D development team is proud to announce the release of ImageVis3D (IV3D) Mobile 3.0! IV3D Mobile is a mobile visualization application designed to visualize and share volume and surface data while you are on the go. With ImageVis3D (available for free at www.imagevis3d.com) and ImageVis3D Mobile you can transfer your own data directly from the desktop to your mobile device. ImageVis3D supports all iPads, iPod touches and iPhones (older devices have a more limited feature set). Version 3.0 adds support for server based rendering, when connected to a render server the application can generate images of much higher quality that it would be possible with client based rendering alone.

miriah-35Congratulations to Miriah Meyer who has been selected by Technology Review Magazine as one of the world's top innovators under 35 years of age who's work promises to change the world. Each year Technology Review seeks young candidates from around the world who are developing innovative solutions to important problems.

A panel of expert judges selects the top 35. Dr. Meyer was chosen due to her development of a software system that allows scientists to explore genomic, molecular, and chemical data in new ways that bring out corrolations and relationships that where never before accessible.

geneologyResearch groups from the Department of Human Genetics and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) have recently attracted widespread commercial and academic interest in their software inventions related to genetic data processing and the display of ancestral data.

greg-vspringCongratulations go out to our Associate Director Greg Jones who has been designated a v|100 - vSpring Top 100 Venture Entrepreneur for a fifth year. The v|100 designation is given to those individuals voted most likely to lead a successful business venture in Utah within the next few years. The v|100 is designed to help entrepreneurs and vSpring Capital establish and cultivate relationships among top CEO and CTO talent in the region. Members of this elite executive community are chosen through a peer-nominated and peer-selected process. Top members of the Utah business community were surveyed by a vSpring team to nominate the top 100 ventrue entrepreneurs in Utah. 2010 marks the seventh year of the v|100 Community. Greg was also selected as a v|100 member in 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2005.
iv3dThe ImageVis3D team is proud to announce the release of ImageVis3D 2.0. Download ImageVis3D is a desktop volume rendering application which was designed to visualize large data. Support is available for multiple rendering modes, such as 1D and 2D transfer functions, isosurface rendering, as well as specialized modes such as MIP and slice views. On modern systems, ImageVis3D's GPU-accelerated rendering delivers incredible performance, while compatibility options exist to allow ImageVis3D to perform adequately on older systems.

ImageVis3D 2.0 is a major release, bringing many new features and a great number of bugfixes. Changes since 1.3 include:
