Using optical microscopy, Apache Spark, and a new set of open source analysis tools for deconvoluting neural activity related to behavior. See more on the new analysis toolkit (currently available in Python) at http://research.janelia.org/zebrafish/index.html Not my work, but it seems like a great application of "big data" tools to biology!
