Latest update: June 2009

The paper I submitted to NeuroImage regarding the largest evaluation of brain image registration software algorithms ever conducted is now online! I am extending this study now to include surface-based registration.

I have just received a 3-year R01 from the National Institutes of Mental Health to create a completely new version of Mindboggle (automated anatomical brain labeling software) beginning in July of 2009!

Mindboggle

http://www.mindboggle.info


Mindboggle is an automated approach to labeling the anatomy and functional activity of human brain imaging data.
I developed this software as part of my PhD thesis and have just received a 3-year R01 from the National Institutes of Mental Health to create a completely new version beginning in July of 2009...

InfoVis.info

http://www.infovis.info


InfoVis.info is a searchable database of information graphics from visitor submissions and numerous repositories on the internet. Part of my research program is to classify these and other information graphics according to a taxonomy I am developing.

Ellora Caves

http://www.elloracaves.org

My wife and I are collaborating with Professor Walter Spink of the University of Michigan to create the first comprehensive documentation of the Ellora cave temples. I took around 7,000 digital photographs and am constructing an online resource that will enable scholars and students to navigate the caves through these images, and later via the cave ground plans.

It was announced in December, 2008 by ArtStor.

The Daily Photo Project

http://www.elloradaily.info

I'm taking a photograph of my daughter's face every day. I apply software I wrote to coregister the images by manually identified facial features and to create time-lapse animations.

Check the site for news coverage.
