BrainVoyager QX and Turbo-BrainVoyager

At this year's Human Brain Mapping Conference in Brighton, UK, Brain Innovation B.V. demonstrated for the first time the upcoming multi-platform version of BrainVoyager, called "BrainVoyager QX". At our booth, many visitors were excited to see BrainVoyager QX running on Windows 2000, Linux, Sun Solaris and Mac OS X. The graphical user interface of BrainVoyager QX has been developed with the popular Qt library, a C++ cross-platform fully object-oriented application framework. At HBM, we also demonstrated for the first time "Turbo-BrainVoyager" running also on all major computer platforms. Turbo-BrainVoyager allows to perform complex fMRI data analysis in real-time including the computation of incremental General Linear Models, 3D motion correction and visualizations of maps, time courses and behavioral data. For further information about these new programs as well as about our BrainVoyager QX beta program, please send us an email.
