The AlloBrain. FMRI Visualization & Sonification.

An experiment into multimodal data exploration, Allobrain presents a virtual world consisting of isosurfaces of brain blood density drawn from fMRI imaging data, attempting to provide the experience of being inside a brain as architectural space.

Key faculty, postdoctoral, and graduate student researchers associated with the project: Professor Marcos Novak, Professor JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, Dr. Xavier Amatrain, Dr. Dan Overholt, Dr. Lance Putnam, Wesley Smith, John Thompson and Dr. Graham Wakefield.
