Open access data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) that will be used for various tutorials on data preprocessing and analysis.
The dataset that you are being provided only contains the open access HCP behavioral features (some are restricted, see here for more info). It is possible to apply for permission to access the Tiers 1 and 2 restricted data.
Structural MRI data was acquired from the WU-Minn HCP S1200 Release (Van Essen et al., 2013; Glasser et al., 2016). Volumes were obtained using the high-resolution 3T T1-weighted (T1w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data (n = 1086 subjects, HCP S1200 Reference Manual, downloaded directly from the HCP online repository).
Total brain volume (TBV) as well as the volume and total surface area of 6 other structures (left striatum, right striatum, left thalamus, right thalamus, left globus pallidus, right globus pallidus) were obtained by Nadia Blostein and colleagues from the Computational Brain Anatomy (CoBrA) Laboratory (Cerebral Imaging. Center, Douglas Mental Health University Institute) under the supervision of Dr. Mallar Chakravarty. Images were processed and volume and surface area measures extracted using a standard lab pipeline that involved the publicly available minc-bpipe library and MAGeTbrain segmentation algorithm. More thorough details on image processing and volume obtention can be found here.
