siibra-explorer is an frontend module wrapping around nehuba for visualizing volumetric brain volumes at possible high resolutions, and connecting to siibra-api for offering access to brain atlases of different species, including to navigate their brain region hierarchies, maps in different coordinate spaces, and linked regional data features. It provides metadata integration with the EBRAINS knowledge graph, different forms of data visualisation, and a structured plugin system for implementing custom extensions.
A live version of the siibra explorer is available at https://atlases.ebrains.eu/viewer/. This section is useful for developers who would like to develop this project.
Siibra explorer is built with Angular (v14.0), Bootstrap (v4), and fontawesome icons. Some other notable packages used are ngrx/store for state management.
Releases newer than v0.2.9 also uses a nodejs backend, which uses passportjs for user authentication, express as a http framework.
- node 12.20.0 or later

Commit history prior to v0.2.0 is available in the legacy-v0.2.0 branch. The repo was rewritten to remove its dependency on neuroglancer and nehuba. This allowed for simpler webpack config, faster build time and AOT compilation.
