description Mozak Overview

Mozak is a citizen-science game developed through the University of Washington in which participants help reconstruct the three-dimensional shapes of neurons from microscopy data. Players trace and refine branching neural structures, producing work that can support neuroscience research after appropriate review and validation. It is designed for volunteers without specialist laboratory training who want to contribute to brain-mapping and connectomics projects.
