Obsidian

Brain Atlas: Obsidian Plugin

Released Brain Atlas, an Obsidian community plugin that turns a vault into an animated 3D anatomical brain. Notes become clustered regions, wikilinks become neural pathways, and the graph stays fully native inside Obsidian.

Updated Brain Atlas to v0.1.5 after early community feedback from folder-heavy and frontmatter-heavy vaults. The plugin now has frontmatter value mappings for existing taxonomies like type:wiki=source, direct region mappings like type:person=temporal, folder region mappings for vaults organized by directories, and a Classification report that explains why notes landed in each brain region.

The release also adds label-density guardrails to prevent dense note labels from turning into visual noise, a DAYLIGHT palette, optional lower-idle-CPU performance presets, and seeded local test vaults for checking how the atlas behaves across different vault organization styles.

Obsidian

Cerebro Mycelium: Obsidian Plugin

Released Cerebro Mycelium, an Obsidian community plugin that renders a vault as a living fungal network. Notes become soft kind-clusters, wikilinks become curved hyphae, and recently edited notes glow as fruiting bodies.
