Abstract
We describe a new capability for analyzing and visualizing brain activ ity while a subject is performing a cognitive or perceptual task in a magnetic resonance scanner. This online capability integrates geograph ically distributed hardware (scanner, parallel computer, visualization platform) via commodity networking. We describe how we parallelized t he existing analysis software and present results for the three main c lasses of parallel platforms. Finally we discuss some of the new possi bilities this online capability presents for scientific studies and cl inical intervention.
