1. Develop community-editable neuroinformatics databases by, for, and of the neuroimaging community, to be hosted on NITRC (http://www.nitrc.org). These databases will comprehensively detail image registration algorithms, brain atlases and templates, and brain parcellation algorithms.
2. Give lectures and demonstrations on data visualization and visualization ontologies to a
wide range of academic and government audiences. Recent examples include:
the National Academy of Sciences, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency,
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Columbia University, Baruch College,
The New School, and last year's ESRI and GEOINT conferences.
3. Attend meetings and workshops that bring together scientists and artists; most recently,
participated in the "Science (Weather) Forecasts Workshop" at the Hall of Science in
New York (http://www.scimaps.org/meeting_061026.php).
4. Developing a new version of Mindboggle, open source software for automated anatomical
brain labeling, freely downloadable at http://www.binarybottle.com/mindboggle.php.
5. Actively developing three image databases, to be accessible online by the general public:
- Data visualization
Intended to become the largest collection of manually annotated information graphics. Individuals from around the world are starting to voluntarily submit annotated information graphics to the database.
- Cultural entomology
A collaboration with entomologist and ecologist Barrett Klein of the University of Texas, Austin, to disseminate knowledge about the interrelationships of insects and humans. This will be the largest database of its kind, and will be directed to academic researchers and the general public as well.
- Cave temple architecture
Contains the first comprehensive photodocumentation of the Ellora cave temples in India, with thousands of manually annotated photographs taken by Arno Klein. This work was funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation, and will be publicly accessible via a website, http://www.elloracaves.org. The website already features images searchable by content and software is being written to allow a user to view photographs by navigating through digitized ground temple plans; these plans will contain markers indicating camera position and angle. This work will also result in a book, to be coauthored with Dr. Deepanjana Danda and Professor Emeritus Walter Spink of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
