Brain GIF Generator
Turn MNE source estimates into publication-ready animated brain visualizations — customizable colormaps, hemisphere views, transparent backgrounds.
Brain activity deserves better than a static plot.
Source-reconstructed MEG and EEG signals unfold over milliseconds, showing a single timepoint throws away most of the information. Brain GIF Generator turns that temporal dimension into motion, making dynamics visible at a glance.
Your .stc file, straight in.
No conversion, no reformatting. Drop in the source estimate file you already have from your MNE pipeline (.stc or .h5), and the app reads it directly. Fsaverage template is fetched automatically on first run.
Tune every frame before you render.
Choose your colormap: hot, viridis, coolwarm and more. Select hemisphere, camera angle, smoothing level, and time range. Preview any single frame live before committing to the full animation.
Frame by frame, then assembled.
Each timepoint is rendered as a high-resolution PNG by MNE's 3D engine, then stitched into an optimized GIF by ImageIO. Toggle transparent background for overlay use directly in slides.
Drop it straight into your paper.
Download the GIF and embed it in your presentation or supplementary material. The whole pipeline runs locally. No data is uploaded anywhere, no account needed. Just clone, install, and run.
