ColViz (Collaborative Visualization) it's a Middleware oriented to the application of collaborative visualization techniques inside the HBP Project. This Middleware is mainly centered in the analysis of huge neuroscientific data sets that are growing up day by day, increasing the difficulty of knowledge extraction. Visualization techniques could help in the analysis by taking advantage of the human visual system. These advantages could be made more powerful if the visual analysis is done using collaborative visualization techniques, allowing for several groups of neuronscientist to work collaboratively. ColViz allows the Neuroscientists the aplication of collaborative visualization techniques to ease the analysis of neuroscientific data, using different Collaborative Visualization paradigms.
See ColViz web page and ColViz manual for a complete description and sample data tests.
