Registered Brainhack Global 2020 Event: Brainhack Micro2Macro 2021

Project Description: There are lots of nice tools to plot brain meshes in python, but many come with dependencies that can be tricky to install. This project aims to improve a basic tool to plot brain meshes purely using matplotlib.

Ideal for people who want a simple, easy to use tool to visual cortical surface data on meshes in notebooks or generate brain images through python scripts.

All you need is a mesh file (containing vertices and faces) and a set of values you want to display. For example, cortical thickness values across the mesh or a surface-based parcellation.

Here is the github: https://github.com/kwagstyl/matplotlib_surface_plotting

Data to use: All data is currently included in the github repo. You can use your own mesh files if you prefer.

Goals for Brainhack Global 2020: The aim for the brainhack is to add some extra visualisation options:

Good first issues:

  1. Notebook to plot a brain - download the repo and create a notebook from the example .py script
  2. Suggest a new plotting feature
  3. Implement a new feature

Skills:

Python Jupyter notebook Data visualisation

Tools/Software/Methods to Use:

Python Jupyter notebook
