This Guest Post is Submitted by Samantha Krik about the 3D Brain' App for iPhone-Review.
Just when you wonder why ‘science can never be fun’, Apple introduces a new app for its iPhone and iPad users called the ‘3D Brain’.
The 3D Brain is an educational app that is created to give us a deeper understanding of the working of the human brain. It provides information from the basic level to a much more advanced one. So it isn't just for all those aspiring neurosurgeons, or psychologists. It’s also apt for us normal folk, on a hunt for further information on that vital part of us that aids in the proper functioning of our body.
On initiating the app, an image of a brain comes into focus, with its various regions marked using different colors. You can rotate it around to view all sides of it. One side of the brain is even translucent so as to enable you to gain insight into its interiors. You can even ‘zoom-in-and-out’ of it.
This app was created by ‘Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSH)’ to provide us with a resource for ‘beneficial information’. The 3D Brain does justice to just such a motive, as one can gain a wealth of information through this app. No longer will one ask “Cerebellum? Is that a new brand of cereal?”
The 3D Brain has a labeled image, so as to pin point various regions of the brain, to us. If you don’t wish to view them, though, you can simply deactivate the feature.
You can derive further information on the said regions, simply by clicking on the ‘Info’ button. It will even provide ‘case studies’ for certain ‘instances’, to give you a better understanding of it, via ‘real life’ incidents.
The iPhone version does have certain glitches in comparison to the one on the iPad. The screen being much smaller than the latter, when clicking on ‘Info’, the ensuing tab practically takes up the entire screen. This renders us incapable of viewing the image and the info at the same time.
Also, navigating your way around the brain is quite a problem. Since one can only go around it via a tiny ‘bar’ at the right-hand corner of the screen, it makes it quite uncomfortable for us to go about our navigation. “It isn't as convenient as we’d like it to be”.
But, considering the pros of this app, one can willingly overlook its little problems. The vast knowledge that we can gain from it, is an aspect that one may not be willing to sacrifice in the name of inconvenience.
One needn't turn to an encyclopedia, anymore. This app not only provides us with an abundance of information, but also an experience like never before. Where else can you view the human brain from every angle possible? “Well, not counting the one in your lab of course. But then again, not all of us have access to just such privileges”
So now you no longer have to lug around heavy books, and flip through ‘yawn-inducing’ material. The ‘free’ 3D Brain app makes ‘learning’ so much more fun. And you can carry it around with you…in your pocket. “Who knew ‘gaining knowledge’ could be this simple?”
