Image-processing-brainbow

Brainbow is a neuroscience technique where individual neurones in the brain are genetically modified to express different combinatiions of fluorescent proteins. Imaging with a fluorescent microscope gives a rainbow-like pattern. Script decodes compressed pixel data from PNG. PNG filtering sytem reconstructs image rows. Code reads brainbow PNG, extracts pixel data, applies filters and saved modified images. Isolates red, green and blue channels. Each neurones colour comes from their respective absorbance of fluorescent proteins. By isolating specific colour channels, researchs can quantify where specifc proteins are expressed.
