Welcome to BrainTrawler’s documentation!

BrainTrawler is a free online tool to explore heterogeneous neurobiological data. It allows neuroscientists to analyse brain connectivity data and gene expression data in real-time. BrainTrawler has

1. A collection of public neuroscience datasets of Brain Transcriptomic And Connectivity Data (BrainTACO) from mouse and human (see Data in BrainTrawler)

2. An inutitive user interface to explore, mine and analyse these datasets in real-time.

Currently, there are two versions: BrainTrawler Mouse and BrainTrawler Human .

To get started, have a look at Getting started and Workflows, where some example workflows are shown. For questions or enquiries, e.g. in case you want to collaborate within a joint research project please contact: braintrawler@vrvis.at For more information about the technical and visualization background of BrainTrawler see the following publications:

• Our latest version of BrainTrawler including the data resource BrainTACO and BrainTrawler lite (Ganglberger et al, 2023)

• Our original BrainTrawler paper (Ganglberger et al, 2019a)

• Our data structure to allow real-time queries (Ganglberger et al, 2019b)

• A workflow to analyse and fuse heterogeneous neurobiological data and a preliminary version of our current BrainTrawler (Ganglberger et al, 2018)
