The (Real) Final Fron9er: The Human Brain
Introduc9on
Blast medicine anyway! We've learned to 9e into every organ in the human body but one. The brain! The brain is what life is all about. -‐Dr. Leonard H. McCoy ("Bones") (from Star Trek TV series, The Menagerie)
6
• Average weight of a human brain: 3 pounds • Number of neurons in the brain: 100 Billion • Miles of blood vessels, capillaries and other transport
systems in the brain: 100,000 miles • Number of connec9ons in the adult brain: 1 quadrillion
Gecng Inside Your Head is a Challenge

“Since the brain is unlike any other structure in the known universe, it seems reasonable to expect that our understanding of its func9oning…will require approaches that are dras8cally different from the way we understand other physical systems.” -‐Richard M. Restak (from The Brain. The Last FronEer, 1979)
New Approaches
8
Crea9ng useful new ways to model, visualize, and interact with many layers of data about the brain is vitally important for many purposes.
New Perspec9ves Needed
WIIFM – Investors’ Edi9on
9
• This is the Brain Era – many of the next thirty years’ technological breakthroughs and their commercial applica9ons will happen right here
• New industry innova9ons revolu9onize our world each year – and they each relate to the future of thought, intui9on and analysis
• S&P 500 companies last 5 years on average – you must glimpse decades ahead in R&D
• SXSW 2013 – RIP Dell, Groupon, HP, B&N, RIAA
I’m a Dev – WIIFM?
10
• Understand the issues
• Research in every field is remarkably varied
• Huge gulf between research and applica9on – the dev’s work can bridge that gap, through UI and by understanding each audience’s needs
• Investment pouring in, startups and funded brain mapping projects all need devs
Wait, Isn’t This the Research Track?
11
• Connec9ng research done by many different groups – mul9ple disciplines working as one
• Breaking down silos within ins9tu9ons and across the world
• The beper you understand the target applica9on and end-‐goal, the more likely you’ll discover something truly revolu9onary – and the more likely you’ll get funding
• Have a say in the UI – what do you actually need?
Concept for Neuroimaging System
12
We’re going to show an early concept for a neuroimaging system that could be used for many purposes, including research into trauma9c brain injury (TBI)
TBI Overview

Many Complex Interac9ons
18
Just as a car is made up of a range of different parts and materials that will be differen9ally impacted in a collision, far more so are the components of the brain. It is really only possible to figure out the full extent of damage retrospec9vely.
23
A 3D neuroimaging system that allows a fast, fluid inves9ga9on of heterogeneous data about the brain from the popula9on level down to a specific neural pathway in an individual pa9ent
Vision
25
High-‐level Goals for NEAAL
• Integra8on -‐ incorporate 3D anatomical visualiza9ons with related non-‐physical, data in a simple, elegant display
• Interac8on -‐ maximize visual display for primary work goals and employ verbal and gestural input for the func9onal tasks (NEAAL is no “WIMP”)
• Orienta8on -‐ help users maintain context as they move through an analy9c process while s9ll not overloading the display (ephemeral context)
26
• Localiza8on -‐ allow users to quickly and easily hone in on and
mark points of interest
• Accelera8on -‐ enable faster workflows and more rapid, itera9ve hypothesis tes9ng.
High-‐level Goals for NEAAL (Cont.)
NEAAL Applies Ben Shneiderman’s Mantra
“Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-‐on-‐demand”

Image Scanner Next Gen
What can be improved?
• The Blade Runner vision is interes9ng but would be cumbersome for the researcher in our scenarios; mul9modal 3D is a more robust and easier to use vision.
• Another Image Scanner Next Gen idea…
“Print a hard copy.” Why not do that with a 3D print of the brain and locus of injury?

• Consider a dynamic interface – Gestural control of the flyover – Rapid gestural or voice-‐driven zoom and manipula9on
– Instant localiza9on of any part of the brain – Tracks mul9ple modali9es at once, and remembers which overlays provide complementary informa9on
