Brain Tutor 3D lets you explore the human brain from the palm of your hand using your iPhone. Created by Brain Voyager from MRI scans, this educational application enables you to learn about the structure and function of the human brain by interacting with rotatable 3D models in real time.

For anyone interested (especially medical students) in looking inside the head and seeing the individual parts of the brain and how they work, this program is indeed quite simple and informative. iPhone users can see a preview and download a free copy from the iPhone Application Store.

Here are a few things that you can do with Brain Tutor 3D [as seen on the Brain Voyager website]:

• Explore 3D models of the head and brain in real time
• Slice the brain along 3 axes (sagittal, axial and coronal)
• Learn where brain structures are located
• Present text information about lobes, gyri, sulci and Brodmann areas
