Development and Testing of SPIDER-NET: An Interactive Tool for Brain Connectogram Visualization, Sub-Network Exploration and Graph Metrics Quantification.

ABSTRACT: Brain connectomics consists in the modeling of human brain as networks, mathematically represented as numerical connectivity matrices. However, this representation may result in difficult interpretation of the data. To overcome this limitation, graphical representation by connectograms is currently used via open-source tools, which, however, lack user-friendly interfaces and options to explore specific sub-networks. In this context, we developed SPIDER-NET (Software Package Ideal for Deriving Enhanced Representations of brain NETworks), an easy-to-use, flexible, and interactive tool for connectograms generation and sub-network exploration. This study aims to present SPIDER-NET and to test its potential impact on pilot cases. As a working example, structural connectivity (SC) was investigat
