Come and join our team of
BrainMappers!!
We will be happy to work with anyone who would love to join our effort.
While you can see in real-time what your collaborators are writing or drawing on a given
data set, you can also chat with them, and ask for help or approval of your work. We want
to open this scientific process to everyone with any background including citizen
scientists and researchers. Join us!
Here is a little video showing the collaborative editing of brain masks in BrainBox.
Next goal: finish the ♥ Bottlenose dolphin ♥!!
Come to our dolphin brain , (log in with your GitHub account) and select the Cerebrum from the Braincatalogue project and join our segmentation sprint!
When you have done 1 slice,
- add your name or github handle to our BRAINMAPPERS.md file
- add the slice number where you have been working (currently, 111 & 112 are done, you could continue with 113++)
- add "length:..." and
- "volume:..." from the upper left corner of the BrainBox viewer into the file (just for the fun!! :D)
- and make a pull request!
The best devices for drawing over the brain are tablets with pens. With a computer mouse or trackpad it is a bit more tedious but works very fine as well 😃 Looking forward to seeing you!
Just say hi in the BrainBox chat and we will guide you to the view where we are currently working.
We will work in an axial slice (113++) and erase all the parts of the mask that cover the sulci of the brain. You see the impressively folded structure of the dolphin brain. The sulci, which are the valleys of the folds, appear darker. We erase them from the mask to being able to reconstruct the 3D surface preserving the folding. It's fun! Join us! :) Careful! It's addictive! <3 😄
