What happens when you combine access to unprecedented huge amounts of anatomical data of brain structures with the ability to display billions of voxels (3D pixels) in real time, using high-speed graphics cards?
Answer: An awesome new immersive virtual reality (VR) experience for visualizing and interacting with up to 10 terabytes (trillions of bytes) of anatomical brain data.
Developed by researchers from the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering and the University of Geneva, the system is intended to allow neuroscientists to highlight, select, slice, and zoom on down to individual neurons at the micrometer cellular level.
