The Whole Brain Catalog, the flagship project of the Whole Brain Project, is a ground-breaking, open source, 3D environment for scientific discovery, conceptualized and developed at the University of California, San Diego.
It merges the newest cyberinfrastructures and software tools with cutting-edge neuroscience research in a shared environment for the worldwide neuroscience community.
The Whole Brain Catalog is a client-server platform that provides rich 3-D views for researchers to zoom in, out, and around structures deep in a multi-scale spatial framework of the mouse brain.
An open-source, 3-D graphics engine used in graphics-intensive computer gaming generates high-resolution visualizations that bring data to life through biological simulations and animations.
