With the development of complex network analyzes on human brain neuroimaging data; visualization of the structural and functional connectivity patterns became an important part of the graph theoretical approach. An easy using network visualization tool can help researchers show their results intuitively, and highlight their key point. Therefore we developed this brain network visualization tool termed as BrainNet Viewer, which can help researchers visualize structural and functional connectivity patterns from different levels in a quick, easy and flexible way. This package can be downloaded from NITRC (www.nitrc.org/projects/bnv/).
