EyeWire

EyeWire is an online platform that turns visual data from the human retina into interactive, digital puzzles. Users help map the intricate networks of nerve cells by tracing their structures in 3D images. This crowdsourced approach accelerates scientific research on how the eye processes visual information. Participants, called "players," collaborate to identify and classify neuron circuits, contributing valuable data for neuroscience. EyeWire combines gaming with scientific discovery, making complex neural mapping accessible and engaging for a wide audience.
