The bottleneck is no longer acquisition; it&rsquo;s storage, sharing, and making all of that data usable by researchers who weren&rsquo;t part of the original experiment.</p> <p>The Brain Image Library (BIL) was built to solve that problem.</p> <hr> <h2 id="what-bil-provides">What BIL Provides</h2> <p>BIL is a public, persistent repository for brain microscopy data, hosted at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and serving the broader neuroscience community. Rather than requiring researchers to download multi-terabyte datasets before they can work with them, BIL provides integrated analysis and visualization tools that let users explore data in place — directly through the repository.</p>
