[pymvpa] NEURO-BUREAU: ADHD-200 Processed Data Now Available

[Cameron Craddock]

In order to bring the ADHD-200 Global Competition to a wider audience, The
Neuro Bureau is making preprocessed versions of the competition data freely
available to the general public
(http://neurobureau.projects.nitrc.org/ADHD200). These openly downloadable
datasets include both preprocessed versions of structural and functional
dataset previously made available by the ADHD-200 consortium, as well as
initial standard subject-level analyses (e.g., fractional amplitude of low
frequency fluctuations, connectivity maps for 10 commonly observed resting
state networks (Smith et al. PNAS 2009)). We hope this release will open
collaborative possibilities and contributions from researchers not
traditionally addressing brain data -- for those whose specialties lay
outside of MRI and fMRI data processing, the competition is now one step
easier. 

The preprocessing pipelines will include:
1) The Athena: resting state fMRI and voxel-based morphometry preprocessing
(grey matter) using AFNI and FSL [released]

2) The Burner: voxel-based morphometry processing (grey matter and white
matter) using 
DARTEL in SPM [coming soon]

3) The NIAK: resting state fMRI preprocessing using the NeuroImaging
Analysis Kit on CBRAIN [coming soon]

4) The CIVET: cortical thickness measures extracted using the CIVET pipeline
on CBRAIN [coming soon]

Additionally, for May 1, we anticipate the release of extracted timeseries
data (in .csv format) and corresponding full- and partial-correlation
matrices for a variety of brain parcellation schemes.

For more information and to download data please visit:

to download data.

Cheers,
Cameron Craddock, Daniel Margulies, and The Neuro Bureau
