BrainVoyager Brain Tutor

BrainVoyager Brain Tutor, now distributed as Brain Tutor 3D, is an educational program from Brain Innovation, the company behind the BrainVoyager neuroimaging software. It teaches the structure and function of the human brain to students, neuroscientists, medical professionals and interested laypeople by letting them explore three-dimensional head and brain models that were created from magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Shows where brain structures lie and what they do on models that can be turned and sliced.

The main window shows MRI slices on one side and rotatable mesh models on the other. Clicking or tapping a spot on the model reveals the brain area at that location together with a text description of its function. Atlases cover lobes, gyri, sulci, Brodmann areas, subcortical structures, selected functional areas and major fibre tracts, and the head can be sliced along the sagittal, axial and coronal planes. The program is free and supports mouse and touch input.

Features:

• Rotatable 3D head and brain models
• MRI slices at millimetre resolution
• Atlases of lobes, gyri, sulci and Brodmann areas
• Visualisation of major fibre tracts
• Text descriptions of selected brain areas
• Mouse and touch gesture control
