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.

hansen-ieeeCongratulations to Dr. Chuck Hansen who has been elected an IEEE Fellow in recognition of his extraordinary accomplishments in the development of visualization tools for large-scale scientific datasets. This honorary designation is limited to no more than one-tenth of one percent of the total voting IEEE Institute membership each year.
sc12For 24 years, SC has been at the forefront in gathering the best and brightest minds in supercomputing together, with our unparalleled technical papers, tutorials, posters and speakers. SC12 will take a major step forward not only in supercomputing, but in super-conferencing, with everything designed to make the 2012 conference the most ‘you’ friendly conference in the world. We’re streamlining conference information and moving to a virtually real-time method of determining technical program thrusts. No more pre-determined technical themes picked far in advance. Through social media, data mining, and active polling, we’ll see which technical interests and issues emerge throughout the year, and focus on the ones that interest you the most. The conference welcomes you to participate in the breadth of conference offerings, including:

harsh-llnlCongratulations to Harsh Bhatia on receiving the Lawrence Scholar Graduate Fellowship. Lawrence Scholars are appointed a position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and paid a full salary for up to 4 years to pursue their proposed research.

valerio-doeCongratulations to Valerio Pascucci who has been recognized as a DOE Fellow. Dr. Pascucci was inducted in September at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) where he is a member of the Scientific Data Management Group. The designation of DOE Fellow is the top scientific achievement designation within DOE and recognizes an individual's outstanding contributions to the scientific and engineering community.
iv3d-mobileThe ImageVis3D development team is proud to announce the release of ImageVis3D (IV3D) Mobile 3.0! IV3D Mobile is a mobile visualization application designed to visualize and share volume and surface data while you are on the go. With ImageVis3D (available for free at www.imagevis3d.com) and ImageVis3D Mobile you can transfer your own data directly from the desktop to your mobile device. ImageVis3D supports all iPads, iPod touches and iPhones (older devices have a more limited feature set). Version 3.0 adds support for server based rendering, when connected to a render server the application can generate images of much higher quality that it would be possible with client based rendering alone.

miriah-35Congratulations to Miriah Meyer who has been selected by Technology Review Magazine as one of the world's top innovators under 35 years of age who's work promises to change the world. Each year Technology Review seeks young candidates from around the world who are developing innovative solutions to important problems.

A panel of expert judges selects the top 35. Dr. Meyer was chosen due to her development of a software system that allows scientists to explore genomic, molecular, and chemical data in new ways that bring out corrolations and relationships that where never before accessible.

geneologyResearch groups from the Department of Human Genetics and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) have recently attracted widespread commercial and academic interest in their software inventions related to genetic data processing and the display of ancestral data.
