PROJECT DEFINITION


Subject

Natural sciences > Neurology (medicine)

Description

EyeWire is a game where volounteers map the 3D structure of neurons. By playing EyeWire, they help map the retinal connectome and contribute to the neuroscience research conducted by Sebastian Seung's Computational Neuroscience Lab at MIT. The connectome is a map of all the connections between cells in the brain. Rather than mapping an entire brain, we’re starting with a retina.

Purpose.

Identify and Maps all the neurons in the retina.
