brain-visualization

brain-visualization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CUHK-AIM-Group/NeuroClaw. It costs 108 tokens per session (1,841 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning existing neuroimaging analysis results into figures and 3D files. Neuroimaging studies use brain scans and related measurements; the tool works with connectivity networks, regional activation maps, and FreeSurfer cortical surfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draw 3D brain connection networks, rank and export activated brain regions from volumetric maps, or export colored cortical surfaces as PLY files for 3D rendering.
Why use it?
It helps present processed brain data in publication-ready visual forms. It does not perform the earlier scan preprocessing or statistical analysis.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

brain-visualization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/connectome_reference.py, scripts/freesurfer_ply_reference.py, scripts/zalff_summary_reference.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brain Visualization

Overview

brain-visualization is the NeuroClaw skill for turning processed neuroimaging outputs into publication-friendly figures and 3D assets.

It focuses on three common visualization tasks drawn from the methods demonstrated in the referenced rs-fMRI tutorial:

  • 3D brain connectivity visualization from atlas coordinates and ROI-to-ROI connectivity matrices
  • atlas-based brain region activation ranking and coordinate export from zALFF-like volumetric maps
  • FreeSurfer cortical surface export to colored PLY meshes for downstream 3D rendering

This skill is intended for analysis outputs that already exist. It does not replace preprocessing or statistical modeling skills such as fmri-skill, nilearn-tool, freesurfer-tool, or fsl-tool.

Agent Reference Rule

When implementing or adapting visualization workflows, the agent should first consult the curated reference snippets in skills/brain-visualization/scripts/ instead of copying directly from the tutorial scripts with hard-coded paths.

Reference snippets available:

  • scripts/connectome_reference.py -> atlas coordinate extraction + strongest-edge connectome plotting
  • scripts/zalff_summary_reference.py -> MNI resampling + zALFF regional summary + coordinate export
  • scripts/freesurfer_ply_reference.py -> FreeSurfer surface + annotation to colored PLY export

These snippets are distilled from rs-fMRI-Pipeline-Tutorial/ and are intended as the preferred starting point for new agent-generated code in this skill.

Quick Reference

Task What needs to be visualized Typical input Expected output
3D connectome figure strongest ROI-to-ROI connections on a template brain atlas NIfTI + connectivity matrix (.npy / .csv) + template T1 static network figure (.png)
Regional activation summary top active atlas regions with MNI coordinates BOLD-derived zALFF or similar volumetric map + atlas + labels ranked CSV table + coordinate table
FreeSurfer surface export anatomical cortical mesh with region colors lh.pial / rh.pial + .annot files colored mesh (.ply)
Publication-ready snapshots compact figures for reports or manuscripts any of the above PNG figures and tabular summaries

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

brain-visualization is a skill published in the GitHub repository CUHK-AIM-Group/NeuroClaw (83 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 1,841 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
