Allen Human Brain Atlas - Brain Explorer 2 is a desktop software application for viewing the human brain anatomy and gene expression data in 3D. "Until now, a definitive map of the human brain at this level of detail simply hasn't existed," said Allan Jones, the nonprofit institute's chief executive. "For the first time, we have generated a comprehensive map of the brain that includes the underlying biochemistry." | Functional Neuroanatomy | 10 Great Sites for Reviewing Brain Anatomy | Harvard Brain Atlas.

Looks great. I just wish they had gone after some of the less sexy but more pharmacologically important organs like liver or kidneys first. Who doesn't want a rollercoaster tour of gene expression in the loop of henle?

Excellent! This will make my neural augmentation project much easier!

This is cool and all but you know what's wrong with it? It's not my brain, in real time.
And if you think that is unrealistic, let me tell you about my scanner and interface specifications.

It's not the same if you can't touch it.

This is a fantastic post -- thank you so much! Funny, I was looking for something like this just a few days ago, and had already tried the U of T Functional Neuro app. The hive mind at work?

The Atlas is great; Lots, LOTS of papers on computation neuroscience (personally, meh) are getting published using this huge huge huge dataset.
There's a lot of shit that's going to get published, and not a few of them are going to get pimped by "journalists" and we get a whole of of "science if stupid" out of ffps based on newspaper headlines.
However, I predict that there are going to be pretty big advances because of the brain atlas; many of those will be two or three steps away, though, so the Atlas won't be referenced. But the atlas will have contributed lots.

Looks neat, but I can't get it to work on OS X 10.6.5. Seems to run, but the black viewport only shows a small, partial head in the upper right corner. Any other Mac users tried it yet?
