In the course of trying to make some sense of reference 1, I thought to take at look at one of the products at reference 2. This being a sort of atlas of all or part of the mouse brain - a publicly available atlas which appears to be driven by a great deal of hard and soft power. That is to say, lots of hardware powered up with lots of software.
I was amused to find that the programmer had saved himself some work by placing the brain off the coast of West Africa. I have yet to work out what he had to gain by doing this and why he had left Africa visible. Although it is easy enough for the user to get rid of it by panning across to the west and zooming in a bit.
Maybe I will get to find out.
