Abstract: |
We
present a large-scale simulation tool for real-time 3D reconstruction of
brain activity in a virtual reality environment. The 3D interactive
visualization of the human cortex connectome in
virtual reality is achieved by using a gaming engine (Unity 3D). Further, the
visualization is bi-directionally interfaced with a real-time neuronal
simulator, iqr. As a result, by stimulating populations
of neurons with external input currents, we are able to reconstruct neural
activity propagating in 3D and in real-time. We explicitly demonstrate causal
activity propagation in the parietal lobe, indicative of visuo-motor
integration. This is a first step to simulating and mapping large-scale brain
activity. |
