Building Critical Resources for Health and Economic Gain
NCRR Reporter - NIH, Laura BonettaAt the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), School of Medicine, new construction helped fill a niche in the field of neuroimaging. "There has been a lot of development in techniques for acquiring information about brain structure and function," said UCLA neuroscientist Arthur Toga. "But the development of ways to process, analyze and interpret these data has lagged behind." To address this cirical need, the university build the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI). The centerpiece of the facility is the Data Immersive Visualization Environment (DIVE), a room dominated by a 12-foot, 150-degree, floor-to-ceiling concave screen on which scientists can project real-time computer graphics, high-definition video, or prerecorded demonstrations or slides.
