COVID-19
Why do some people get sick and die from COVID-19 while others seem to be completely unaffected?
EPFL’s Blue Brain Project deployed its powerful brain simulation technology and expertise in cellular and molecular biology to try and answer this question. A group in the Blue Brain assembled an AI tool that could read hundreds of thousands of scientific papers, extract the knowledge and assemble the answer: A machine-generated view of the role of blood glucose levels in the severity of COVID-19 published by Frontiers in Public Health.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Imagine walking
through the intricate neural pathways of the human brain, visualized as a
mesmerizing network of point clouds—now possible in full VR.
The experience is based on DTI data from the Tractome project, which you can explore right here:
- Tractome Dataset: https://lnkd.in/dGwgsv5z
Grab your favorite VR headset—like the Meta Quest—and get ready for an immersive adventure that lets you journey through the brain in a completely new way. Whether you’re a neuroscientist, a VR enthusiast, or just someone curious about the inner workings of the mind, this is your chance to dive deep into brain connectivity, like never before.
For those who want to dive under the hood, I've shared the source code to create the point cloud LAS dataset, which you can find here:
- MetaBrain DTI Point Cloud: https://lnkd.in/dMGZbAwT
So, put on that headset, fire up the point cloud, and get ready to be amazed by the beauty of the brain.
Happy exploring!
