3D grid cell visualisation software was developed by Misun Kim at the Memory and Space Laboratory of Professor Eleanor Maguire, Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, University College London, London, UK.

This software has two main goals.

First, to visualize the 3D receptive fields of grid cells in volumetric space, which is known to be a 3D lattice structure (Mathis et al., 2015. Probable nature of higher dimensional symmetries underlying mammalian grid-cell activity patterns. eLife. 4, e05979).

Second, to help users to understand a grid cell’s activity that is modulated by the movement direction of an animal relative to the grid axis (Doeller et al., 2010. Evidence for grid cells in a human memory network. Nature. 463, 657–661).

To learn more about how to investigate 3D grid cells in the human brain, please check the paper (Kim, Misun, and Eleanor A. Maguire. “Can we study 3D grid codes non-invasively in the human brain? Methodological considerations and fMRI findings.” NeuroImage 186 (2019): 667-678.).
