About this paper

Xiao Fan, Yi Zhang

BrainRing, an interactive web-based tool from Xidian University, provides a zero-installation solution for visualizing brain functional connectivity data as chord diagrams. It offers real-time parameter adjustments and supports 8 widely-used brain atlases, streamlining the creation of publication-quality figures without requiring programming expertise.

Key insights

  • A fully client-side, single-file HTML architecture can deliver a zero-installation, offline-capable interactive visualization tool for complex scientific data.
  • Real-time parameter adjustments via a graphical interface substantially enhance workflow efficiency and lower technical barriers for scientific data visualization compared to script-based methods.
  • Pre-integrating common domain-specific atlases and supporting diverse data input formats are essential for immediate utility and broad adoption in scientific visualization tools.
