  • Patent number: 11515041
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for interactive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that users (e.g., medical professionals) can use to interact with modelled versions of brains and easily and intuitively analyze deep and/or lateral structures in the brain. A user can, for example, selectively view structures and their connectivity data (e.g., nodes and edges) relative to other structures and connectivity data over a representation of a particular patient's brain. Emphasis can be minimized for certain foreground nodes and edges (e.g., lateral structures) to make it easier for the user to focus on and analyze deeper structures that otherwise can be challenging to visualize and understand. A method can include overlaying deep and non-deep nodes on a representation of a brain, displaying the representation of the brain in a GUI, receiving user input indicating interest in focusing on one or more deep nodes, and taking an action based on the input.
