The Mind Mapper project on Zooniverse invites volunteers to help neuroscientists better understand how different parts of the brain connect and communicate. By tracing pathways in 3D brain images from non-human primates, volunteers contribute to research that could improve our understanding of how brain circuits relate to thinking, memory, and neurological disorders.
This is a great opportunity for students interested in neuroscience, psychology, or data science to participate in real research. No experience is required — just curiosity and attention to detail. Every contribution helps scientists build more accurate maps of the brain and advance discoveries about how our minds work.
NOTE: This tool works best on a computer or laptop with a mouse or track pad
