Human Connectome Project | Mapping the human brain connectivity (original) (raw)
Navigate the brain in a way that was never before possible; fly through major brain pathways, compare essential circuits, zoom into a region to explore the cells that comprise it, and the functions that depend on it.
The Human Connectome Project aims to provide an unparalleled compilation of neural data, an interface to graphically navigate this data and the opportunity to achieve never before realized conclusions about the living human brain.

The Symphony Inside Your Brain By Dr. Francis Collins Ever wonder what is it that makes you, you? Depending on whom you ask, there are a lot of different answers, but these days some of the world’s top neuroscientists might say: “You are your connectome.” Read the full article at: http://directorsblog.nih.gov/the-symphony-inside-your-brain/
Muse’s latest album uses a Human Connectome Project rendering of white matter tracks.
The Human Connectome Project (HCP) Consortium is pleased to have had its graphical renderings of brain connectivity chosen by Grammy Award winning international recording artists Muse (www.muse.mu) for the cover of their latest album ‘The 2nd Law.’ The images selected illustrate the complexity of the neural wiring of the human brain as computed using sophisticated […]
