Voxel-Man/brain is a computerised three dimensional atlas of the human head and brain.
Other atlases are now being developed; Click here to see an animation of the bones of the hand.
At present this software only runs on machines using the UNIX or LINUX operating systems. Voxel-Man junior is now being developed. This will allow interactive exploration of VM data sets on PC and Macintosh computers.

At Oxford we have
implemented Voxel-Man in a
fully functional learning environment for anatomy, starting with
neuroanatomy and the anatomy of the skull.
Our aims are:
1. to improve VM for teaching purposes.
2. to develop knowledge base systems for medical teaching
using Voxel-Man as a graphical resource for the study of anatomy.
3. to provide WWW based teaching materials for anatomy using
images and movies generated by Voxel-Man.
Here is a
slideshow from a talk given at the Anatomical Society of
Great Britain, December 1996. These slides are large graphical files!

This part of the project is funded by the New Technology Initiative of the British Government's Joint Information Systems Committee.
