three-brain-js - Yet a 3D Viewer (HTML, WebGL based) for Brain
This repository contains a JavaScript engine for visualizing 3D brain models via modern web browsers (with WebGL2 support). The key features include:
- Visualizing surface models (FreeSurfer surface, AFNI/SUMA)
- Overlay T1 MR images as anatomical slices (FreeSurfer
.mgh/mgz, NIfTI.nii) - Overlay volume data in terms of voxel cubes (NIfTI
.nii) - Overlay electrodes as spheres
- Color/Animate electrodes based on their values (continuous, categorical)
- Electrode localization with CT at original resolution (paper in proceeding)
- Group-level electrode mapping (via MNI or SUMA 141 brain)
The source code currently only contains the viewer part. The data configuration files is currently generated by the R package threeBrain. Python package threebrainpy is also under active development.
Please see "Roadmap" for details.
For developers who wish to incorporate the package into your project:
npm i @rave-ieeg/three-brainRoadmap
- Jul, 2024: Finish documentation;
- Dec, 2023: Derail R and implement JavaScript code to generate data configurations
- Oct, 2023: Publish electrode localization paper
- Aug, 2023: Implement drivers to allow other programs to change the viewers via JavaScript events
- Jan, 2023: Create initial commit for the viewer
- Dec, 2022: Isolate the viewer part from R package
