+    :align: right
+
+BrainVISA is an open-source, modular and customizable software platform built
+to host heterogeneous tools dedicated to neuroimaging research. It aims at
+helping researchers in developing new neuroimaging tools, sharing data and
+distributing their software.
+
+Features:
+
+- Written in pure Python
+- Databasing capabilities
+- Massive computation facilities using Soma-workflow
+- Open environment, with many toolboxes
+- Specialized toolboxes for T1 MRI processing, sulci ang gyri morphometry,
+  diffusion imaging and fibers tracking, surfacic and structural analysis,
+  3D histology...
+- Links with other software like SPM, FSL, FreeSurfer, or CIVET

+AIMS
+~~~~
+http://brainvisa.info
+
+AIMS is the image processing library provided within the BrainVISA environment.
+It is independent from BrainVISA, and the basis for the Anatomist viewer.
+
+Features:
+
+- C++ and Python APIs, including integration with Numpy arrays
+- Open and plugin-based IO system supporting various volume formats (NIFTI-1,
+  Analyze, DICOM, MINC, ECAT, and several others including all standard 2D
+  image formats), several mesh and texture formats (GIFTI, PLY, CIVET,
+  BrainVisa Mesh and Tri, export as VRML-1, POV, ...), graphs...
+- Many neuromiaging data manipulation tools and image processing algorithms

+
+Soma-workflow is a unified and simple interface to parallel computing resource.
+It is an open source Python application which aims at making easier the use of
+parallel resources by non expert users and external software.
+
+Features:
+
+- Python library, and GUI
+- Interfaces with many cluster management tools (Grid Engine, LSF, PBS,
+  Condor, ...) via DRMAA, or via the python API.
+- Local multicore implementation
+- Handles files transfers
+- Handles client disconnection while jobs are running on a remote resource

+
+Anatomist is a powerful 3D visualization software dedicated to neuroimaging.
+It is cross-platform and open-source. It is an independent part of the
+BrainVisa environment, and relies on the AIMS library, inheriting its features.
+
+Features:
+
+- C++ and Python APIs
+- Interactive, fast 3D via direct OpenGL
+- Usable as a standalone software or as a library to build dedicated GUIs
+- Supports all kinds of neuroimaging objects, including complex structured
+  objects
+- Interactive ROI drawing, voxel-based or on surfaces
