Human brain animations

Resources for, and animations of, a human brain. These are primarily surface renderings from MRI volume data. Space Software was used for most manipulation and rendering.

Example animations

Human brain serial slices of MRI animations

High resolution rotating brain animation frames

"Changing Brains" animations

2008-09-22 Currently I'm working on simple "rotate brain and highlight specific regions" animations for a Brain Development Lab project, a video for educators and parents about brain development.

Example animations

A variety of simple experimental animations, mostly short loops. 

    Human brain, full rotation, from T1 weighted MRI, average of 27 scans (Colin, Montreal Neurological Institute).
    Also see High resolution, single frame, stereo pair and Brodmann coded still images.

Brain_Brodmann_blend.swf  1.3 MB, 640 x 480 px. Two rotations, one colored by Brodmann areas. Larger (1170 x 880 px.)  individual frames of the "base" brain are available in a \brain_animations sub-directory.

brain_colin27T1.avi  5 MB brain_colin27T1_small_120x3.avi 1 MB

Stereo pair - cross view. brain_colin27T1_stereo.avi  10 MB

Visual motor mapping

    Functional MRI retinotopy and motor strip mapping.
