The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is a collaborative 5-year effort to map human brain connections and their variability in healthy adults. A consortium of HCP investigators will study a population of 1200 healthy adults using multiple imaging modalities, along with extensive behavioral and genetic data. In this overview, we focus on diffusion MRI (dMRI) and the structural connectivity aspect of the project. We present recent advances in acquisition and processing that allow us to obtain very high-quality in-vivo MRI data, whilst enabling scanning of a very large number of subjects. These advances result from 2 years of intensive efforts in optimising many aspects of data acquisition and processing during the piloting phase of the project. The data quality and methods described here are representative of the datasets and processing pipelines that will be made freely available to the community at quarterly intervals, beginning in 2013.

ADNI is an initiative to develop biomarker-based methods to detect and track the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that provides access to qualified scientists to their database of imaging, clinical, genomic, and biomarker data.
View all literature mentionsDataset of 1000 characterized community-ascertained participants using state-of-the-art multiband imaging-based resting state fMRI (R-fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), genetics, and a deep phenotyping protocol from a large cross-sectional sample of brain development, maturation and aging (ages 6 - 85 yrs). The Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR), University of Minnesota, provided the NKI-RS effort with the latest version of the Multiband EPI sequence (Xu et al. 2012) and associated image reconstruction algorithms, enabling the acquisition of state-of-the-art imaging datasets for this large-scale imaging effort. The enhanced NKI-RS expands upon the phenotypic protocol of the original NKI-RS and captures a broad range of behavioral and cognitive phenomenology relevant to psychiatric health and illness. The validity and value of assessments were evaluated by consulting leaders in the field of psychiatric phenotyping.
