Stereoscopic Atlas of Intrinsic Brain Networks (SAIBN)

I think your doctor needs this in order to explain where your networks were damaged in your brain. And in 3d. Cool.

Stereoscopic Atlas of Intrinsic Brain Networks (SAIBN version 1.0) is a 3D stereoscopic (anaglyph method) full brain functional connectivity atlas created using a parcellation atlas published by
Craddock et al. (Craddock et al., 2012). Using 3D Slicer 3.6.3 (Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Gering et al., 1999; Pieper et al., 2004; Pieper et al., 2006; http://www.slicer.org)
and the two hundred ROI version of the Craddock atlas, 200 grayscale surface models were created using a z-stat threshold > 2.3. Additionally, each surface model was processed with a surface decimation algorithm and was smoothed with the Taubin algorithm and without surface normals.
For improved visualization of the functional connectivity networks and their relative anatomical position, the surface model of five subcortical anatomical structures (corpus callosum, bilateral caudate, pallidum, putamen, thalamus, amygdala and hippocampus) were included in SAIBN. These surfaces were created with 3D Slicer using the segmentation computed with Freesurfer v. 5.1. (Fischl et al., 1999, 2000; Dale et al., 1999; http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu).
Red-cyan glasses should be used with 3D Slicer in order to perceive the 3D stereoscopic effect.
