If you are attending the Human Brain Mapping conference in Bordeaux, Framce, please visit our booth (#38) and you'll meet BrainVoyager experts answering your questions!
We are thrilled to show you several new applications and updates of existing software, including BrainVoyager 24.2.8 with its support for label drawing and multiple brain atlases. Related to the latter, we also show our new easy-to-use, cross-platform EBRAINS fMRI Atlas Viewer that supports you in identifying functional clusters in your MNI space volume maps. We also show the near-release version of Brain Studio running on almost every operating system with a touch-driven user interface on mobile platforms including iOS and Android. Like the Brain Tutor 3D and BrainViewer apps, Brain Studio not only runs on all major desktop and mobile platforms but it also comes as a WebApp (based on WebAssembly) allowing to launch the app from most web browsers without installing anything. All new applications do not only support BrainVoyager files but also NIfTI and GIfTI files that can be used to visualise volume and surface data with overlaid regions-of-interest, statistical maps and invoked time courses. The app can, thus, be used by BrainVoyager users as well as users of other software packages to inspect datasets and to create beautiful publication-ready figures and movies.
We also highlight our latest open source contributions to the software LayNII for state-of-the-art laminar and columnar fMRI analysis. We also present Turbo-BrainVoyager 5.0 (see figure below) that now runs natively on Apple Silicon desktop and laptop Mac computers with optimized Metal shaders for amazing performance, especially when performing the new within- and across-session motion correction.
Turbo-BrainVoyager 5.0 also provides a full analysis pipeline to run novel RSA-based 'semantic neurofeedback' experiments including creation of feedback to users showing the current mental state (red disk) in a semantic emotion map calculated from localizer runs (see figure below).
In our partnership with Artinis & NIRx, we are excited to present the latest versions of our real-time fNIRS software Turbo-Satori and our fNIRS offline software Satori. We also reveal for the first time a protoype of our upcoming software BrainVoyager Light which will be based on Satori and BrainVoyager routines and visualizations. With a dedicateed user interface and advanced 3D reconstruction tools, BrainVoyager Light will support researchers using advanced high-resolution fNIRS data as provided by high-definition diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT). This technique allows to reconstruct maps in the brain (limited to outer cortex) that look similar to fMRI maps. BrainVoyager Light will also support the analysis of simultaneously acquired fMRI and fNIRS data that will be especially useful to translate fMRI results such as BCIs to clinical applications.
