Designed especially for neurobiologists, FluoRender is an interactive tool for multi-channel fluorescence microscopy data visualization and analysis.
Deep brain stimulation
BrainStimulator is a set of networks that are used in SCIRun to perform simulations of brain stimulation such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and magnetic transcranial stimulation (TMS).
Developing software tools for science has always been a central vision of the SCI Institute.

Visual Exploration of High-Dimensional Data Through Subspace Analysis and Dynamic Projections

April 24, 2015 at 12:00pm for 1hr
Evans Conference Room, WEB 3780
Warnock Engineering Building, 3rd floor.

Abstract:

We introduce a novel interactive framework for visualizing and exploring high-dimensional datasets based on subspace analysis and dynamic projections. We assume the high-dimensional dataset can be represented by a mixture of low-dimensional linear subspaces with mixed dimensions, and provide a method to reliably estimate the intrinsic dimension and linear basis of each subspace extracted from the subspace clustering. Subsequently, we use these bases to define unique 2D linear projections as viewpoints from which to visualize the data. To understand the relationships among the different projections and to discover hidden patterns, we connect these projections through dynamic projections that create smooth animated transitions between pairs of projections. We introduce the view transition graph, which provides flexible navigation among these projections to facilitate an intuitive exploration. Finally, we provide detailed comparisons with related systems, and use real-world examples to demonstrate the novelty and usability of our proposed framework.

Design and Evaluation of an Electronic Medication Reconciliation User Interface

April 24, 2015 at 12:30pm for 1hr
Evans Conference Room, WEB 3780
Warnock Engineering Building, 3rd floor.

Health systems often contract with third-party agencies to provide home health care for patients. Currently home health referrals involve the exchange of paper documents in which medication lists are often manually annotated to highlight discrepancies between records. This manual process is error prone and inefficient, leading to ambiguities in the patient record and delays in care. In this project we designed a medication reconciliation application and tested its effects on the accuracy and efficiency of home health plans of care. In this talk I will describe our design approach and contrast it with current approaches. I will also discuss a user study we recently conducted, the challenges we faces and the results, some of which were unexpected.
