WEBKNOSSOS supports almost all our connectomics work in the retina. It's the best web-based tool out there for integrated team-based annotation, proofreading, display, and output of serial EM data. The toolset is diverse, powerful, and intuitive. The functionality and ease of use just keep getting better.
It has been a pleasure to work with the responsive and science-friendly folks at scalable minds.

WEBKNOSSOS enables extraordinary ease in team annotations of our connectomic datasets. Its web-based format […] has opened doors to cross-university collaborations that are unbound from resource limitations that have historically come with large dataset annotations.Perhaps more importantly than the software itself, I have found the technical support and active engagement with its user community, is what makes WEBKNOSSOS the ideal software today and moving forward. I very much look forward to what webKnossos becomes as the field of connectomics advances.

We are working on systems neuroscience in the mouse olfactory bulb.
WEBKNOSSOS is very useful for safely storing large datasets and managing access across multiple users. It makes it simpler to share insights with collaborators - by facilitating operations such as looking at the very same data or sharing annotations.
