Researchers of the Biomedical Image Informatics group at VRVis present their current work and new results at this year´s FENS Forum. The largest neuroscience congress in Europe is taking place in Vienna from 25 to 29 June 2024.
From 25 to 29 June 2024, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), the Austrian Neuroscience Association (ANA) and the Hungarian Neuroscience Society are hosting the FENS Forum 2024 in Vienna.
VRVis´ Biomedical Image Informatics research group is working on innovative data science methods to support the analysis of neuroscientific data and is developing platforms aimed at enhancing the integration, visualization and handling of large amounts of neuroscientific image and network data.
As part of the FENS Forum 2024, Katja Bühler will give a talk on 28 June 2024: “BrainTACO: An Explorable Multi-Scale Multi-Modal Brain Transcriptomic And Connectivity Data Resource".
Every two years, the forum of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) focusses on innovative approaches and recent developments in exploring the brain and the central nervous system. From 25 to 29 June, numerous international researchers and students from the field of neuroscience will gather in Vienna to exchange ideas during workshops, lectures and networking sessions. The Biomedical Image Informatics group of VRVis will participate at the FENS Forum 2024 with several contributions.
Katja Bühler, scientific director and group leader at VRVis, is one of the speakers at the symposium “Connecting the dots: Mining brain data and organisation across multiple scales focusing on computational and theoretical neuroscience”. She will present BrainTACO, an intuitive, web-based data resource for heterogeneous neurobiological data. The platforms Brain* and BrainTrawler provide the basis for it: they enable a flexible integration of multimodal brain data from different species in variable spatial and anatomical resolution.
Bianca Burger and Tobias Peherstorfer from the Biomedical Image Informatics team will present different aspects of BrainTrawler by means of their posters. This visual analytics tool supports neuroscientists in their work through providing an overview of large amounts of data and facilitating the assessment.
