http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~abarmpou/lab/fanDTasia/

A Java applet tool for DT-MRI processing. It opens Diffusion-Weighted MRI datasets from user's computer and performs very efficient tensor field estimation using parallel threaded processing on user's browser. No installation is required. It runs on any operating system that supports Java (Windows, Mac, Linux,...). The estimated tensor field is guaranteed to be positive definite second order or higher order and is saved in user's local disc. MATLAB functions are also provided to open the tensor fields for your convenience in case you need to perform further processing. The fanDTasia Java applet provides also vector field visualization for 2nd and 4th-order tensors, as well as calculation of various anisotropic maps. Another useful feature is 3D fiber tracking (DTI-based) which is also shown using 3d graphics on the user's browser.

http://econnectome.umn.edu/

An open-source MATLAB software package for imaging brain functional connectivity from electrophysiological signals. It provides interactive graphical interfaces for EEG/ECoG/MEG preprocessing, source estimation, connectivity analysis and visualization. Connectivity from EEG/ECoG/MEG can be mapped over sensor and source domains. This package is designed for use by researchers in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, clinical neurophysiology, neurology and other disciplines. The graphical interface-based platform requires little programming knowledge or experience with MATLAB. eConnectome is developed by the Biomedical Functional Imaging and Neuroengineering Laboratory at the University of Minnesota, directed by Dr. Bin He. The visualization module is jointly developed with Drs. Fabio Babiloni and Laura Astolfi at the University of Rome La Sapienza.

http://www.imagilys.com/brainmagix-spm-viewer/

A free, professional viewer for SPM fMRI results. SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping, UCL, London) is a powerful fMRI analysis software but its visualization capabilities are sometimes a limitation for the researchers. That's why Imagilys has decided to offer the neuroimaging community a free version of its commercial "BrainMagix" neuroimaging software, called "BrainMagix SPM viewer". BrainMagix SPM Viewer's Features - Professional viewer for your SPM-based fMRI activations - JAVA-programmed, cross-platform (Windows, MAC, Linux), without Matlab license, making it possible to share your results with colleagues who do not have SPM installed - Reads SPM.mat files and NIfTI images in an user-friendly way - Overlay the blobs with an atlas or any anatomical image - On the fly adjustment of threshold and cluster size - Localize your activations in an atlas - BOLD signal curves in ROIs (future feature) - Export your results as PNG images

http://web1.sph.emory.edu/bios/CBIS/download_page.php

A statistical and graphical visualization MATLAB toolbox for the analysis of fMRI data, called the Bayesian Spatial Model for activation and connectivity (BSMac). BSMac simultaneously performs whole-brain activation analyses at the voxel and region of interest levels as well as task-related functional connectivity (FC) analyses using a flexible Bayesian modeling framework (Bowman et al., 2008). BSMac allows for inputting data in either Analyze or Nifti file formats. The user provides information pertaining to subgroup memberships, scanning sessions, and experimental tasks (stimuli), from which the design matrix is constructed. BSMac then performs parameter estimation based on MCMC methods and generates plots for activation and FC, such as interactive 2D maps of voxel and region-level task-related changes in neural activity and animated 3D graphics of the FC results.

Supplies a complete multi-function data and video processing USB peripheral for vision research. In addition to a dual-display video processor, the DATAPixx includes an array of peripherals which often need to be synchronized to video during an experiment, including a stereo audio stimulator, a button box port for precise reaction-time measurement, triggers for electrophysiology equipment, and even a complete analog I/O subsystem. Because we implemented the video controller and peripheral control on the same circuit board, you can now successfully synchronize all of your subject I/O to video refresh with microsecond precision.

To enable widespread application of the Biological parametric mapping (BPM) approach, they introduce robust regression and non-parametric regression in the neuroimaging context of application of the general linear model. Biological parametric mapping (BPM) has extended the widely popular statistical parametric approach to enable application of the general linear model to multiple image modalities (both for regressors and regressands) along with scalar valued observations. This approach offers great promise for direct, voxelwise assessment of structural and functional relationships with multiple imaging modalities. However, as presented, the biological parametric mapping approach is not robust to outliers and may lead to invalid inferences (e.g., artifactual low p-values) due to slight mis-registration or variation in anatomy between subjects.
