Brainbrowser
A JavaScript library for web-based 2D and 3D visualization of neurological data, featuring surface and volume viewers.
What is Brainbrowser?
BrainBrowser is a JavaScript library designed for web-based visualization of neurological data, offering both 2D and 3D viewing capabilities. It solves the problem of making complex brain imaging data accessible and interactive directly in web browsers, without requiring specialized desktop software. The library includes two main tools: a Surface Viewer for real-time 3D rendering of brain surfaces and a Volume Viewer for slice-by-slice analysis of volumetric data.
Neuroscience researchers, medical imaging developers, and bioinformatics professionals who need to visualize and share brain data in web applications. It is also suitable for educational institutions and open science projects requiring interactive neuroimaging tools.
Developers choose BrainBrowser because it provides a lightweight, open-source alternative to proprietary neuroimaging software, with full integration into web workflows using standard technologies. Its use of WebGL and three.js ensures high-performance 3D rendering, while the web-based approach facilitates collaboration and data sharing across platforms.
