History
Decide whether NeuroGlass should automatically remember all your activities or if you prefer to manually save specific moments of your study.
Memory
NeuroGlass will remember all the settings and visualisation properties of your navigation in a Glance, so you can go back to it or share it with your collaborators
Share
When you share a Glance, your colleagues will see the exact view that you crafted for them
Publish
Does everyone agree that this Glance is worth sharing with the scientific community? Turn it into a Figure, download it, and include it in your next publication.
Figures
Capture key visualizations from your study
Create
Find the combination of visualisation settings that looks best for you, and create a high resolution snapshot ready for publication.
Edit and re-create
Do you need to make a small change? Every Figure is linked to a Glance, so you can go back to it, edit it and re-create a new version.
Bulk-edits
Coming soon.
Download
Once you are happy with your work, export your high resolution Figure.
Data Collections
Coming soon
Import and organize your datasets
Data schema flexibility
Import the metadata that your community is familiar with. You can add or remove fields to existing data schemas, or create your own!
Easy to use
NeuroGlass will generate a template for you to populate with your data, and re-upload.
