Brayns
A large-scale scientific visualization platform for interactive ray-tracing of neurons and other biological data.
What is Brayns?
Brayns is a large-scale scientific visualization platform that performs interactive ray-tracing of complex biological data, such as neuronal circuits and molecules. It is built on Intel OSPRay for CPU-based rendering, allowing researchers to visualize massive datasets with high fidelity. The platform addresses the need for detailed, real-time exploration of neuroscientific and biomedical structures.
Neuroscientists, bioinformaticians, and researchers working with large-scale biological data who require high-performance visualization tools. It is also suited for developers in scientific computing needing extensible visualization backends.
Brayns offers a modular, plugin-based architecture that simplifies adding new visualization use cases while maintaining core stability. Its CPU ray-tracing approach leverages hardware efficiently, providing detailed rendering without requiring specialized GPU setups, and it supports remote streaming for collaborative research.
