The Fibernavigator is a tool designed for a fast and versatile visualization of streamline datasets.

Welcome new users

You can find pre-built versions (Windows, OSX) containing all the latest tools on the Releases page.

If you use the Fibernavigator, please make sure that you quote the following references in any publications:

New rs-fMRI and real-time fiber tractography tutorials soon available: Tutorial Page. New video tutorials of the Fibernavigator are available.

• Scene navigation: how to interact with the 3D view, move planes, etc.
• Mesh display and interaction: how to create and modify the display of meshes.
• Drawing tool: how to draw on empty or already existing anatomies.
• Fiber navigation: how to interact with fibers and select a subset of them.
• Opacity rendering: how to generate orientation-dependent opacity rendering.
• Real-time fiber tracking: how to generate streamlines in real-time.
• Real-time resting-state fMRI: how to generate resting-state networks in real-time.
• Tractography-driven resting-state fMRI: how to combine dMRI with fMRI.
• Optic radiation : Real-time tractography of the optic radiation using HCP data

A list of all tutorials can be seen on the tutorials page.

• Fast and efficient visualization of the results of deterministic and probabilistic tractograms.
