Visualizer for large-scale and interactive ray-tracing of neurons

Brayns is a minimalistic visualizer that can perform ray-traced rendering of neurons. It provides an abstraction of the underlying rendering engines so that the best possible acceleration libraries can be used for the relevant hardware.

The Blue Brain BioExplorer is a tool for scientists to extract and analyze scientific data for visualization and interactive exploration

Exploration relies on building software that combines data integration, analysis and interactive visualization to build, modify and navigate through large scientific datasets. For this, Blue Brain built and open-sourced the Blue Brain BioExplorer. It was originally developed to answer key scientific questions related to the Coronavirus as a use case and to deliver a visualization tool. Today, the BioExplorer allows to reconstruct, visualize, explore, and describe in detail the structure and function of highly-detailed biological structures such as molecular systems, neurons, astrocytes, blood vessels, and more. You can see the first application of the BioExplorer in A Machine-Generated View of the Role of Blood Glucose Levels in the Severity of COVID-19 study.
