Developed as the initial project of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) "is intended to be the foundation for building and expanding neuroscience research by integrating genomic-based methodologies with world-class computer science and traditional neuroanatomy." Based on a mouse brain, the ABA provides access to "an extensive database of ISH images, ABA reference...

Haptics is the science of incorporating touch and physical stimuli into computer applications. A haptics interface can allow the user to feel responses from a program, thereby providing an additional level of perception in a virtual environment, for example. This site hosts the proceedings of the 2003 EuroHaptics conference. Over 30 papers and several more poster presentations are available,...
