Human cortex gene expression

[Bryan Bishop]

Hey all,

http://humancortex.alleninstitute.org/

I've crawled the majority of the XML from their dataset. These are the
guys that did an automated gene expression profile of the entire mouse
brain over at http://brain-map.org/ -- it turns out that somebody
behind the initiative was also keen enough to throw up a Google Maps
API + AJAX + SPARQL + RDF + XML interface in a browser for
neurotagging, regional information, and such.

So now I'm starting to look into the Google Maps API, or even Google
Earth, maybe I can throw up a 3D model of the brain and insert the
information into the system. Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

I'm trying to figure out a way to make this all the more functional
instead of just a few gigabytes sitting on the hdd. I have this large
collection of static information here:

Unfortunately it's all text. There's no models, no YAML, no model
serialization whatsoever, and I'm worrying that I'll just have to
genuinely write the code for each of these papers -- not necessarily to
simulate, but rather just manage the general methodologies of the
experiments and find interesting ways of exploring the brain using
typical techniques. For instance, The Robot Scientist:

which is to some extent related to my automated manufacturing projects:

Any thoughts? Hints? Thank you,
- Bryan
