BrainEx is a tool for exploring and comparing sequences in time series data sets with a focus of applications on brain data. BrainEx is the successor of the tools ONEX and GENEX, adding multiprocessing support to improve the tool's performance. Our project seeks to extend BrainEx's graphical user interface with a cluster explorer, general usability improvements, and an integrated exploration pipeline between the cluster explorer, similarity search, and feature exploration tools. These improvements provide researchers with a powerful way to explore time series data. A user study and an expert review confirmed that BrainEx provides time series exploration in ways existing tools do not. The success of this project allowed us to submit a paper to the IEEE VIS conference.
