Our entry to the Brain Art Competition at the Human Brain Mapping conference in Vancouver, Canada in 2018. In this video we made a 3D model of a human brain from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of a healthy female volunteer. The different anatomical parts were textured independently and then animated to music in a video compositing/rendering program.
