Where to find Brain MRI / NeuroImaging Datasets?
- Connectome datasets -- A connectome (/kəˈnɛktoʊm/) is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain. (via Wikipedia). Can contain functional connectivity and anatomical connectivity.
- For Reliability and Reproducibility researches: http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/CoRR/html/index.html
- University-based:
- Center for Imaging Science, JHU: http://www.cis.jhu.edu/data.sets/ (high definition; organized by cerebral regions)
- SchizConnect: http://schizconnect.org/ - Aggregates datasets from the 5 websites: fBIRN, COINS, XNAT Central, NUNDA, and NU REDCap
- Backed by: Mind Research Network, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization Partnered with Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute
- 04/18/2020: 3 out of 5 data sources are down. I suggest manually browsing these sources if you so desire.
- This website is developed at the Information Sciences Institute of USC. I wonder whether the collaborate with LONI (see above).
Some datasets I found interesting from OpenNEURO:
- Deep Image Reconstruction: This is the study where authors used Artificial Neural Network (Deep Learning) to reconstruct the images that the subject sees.
- Generic Object Decoding (fMRI on ImageNet): visual features can be predicted from fMRI patterns, which in turn can be used to predict mental images (which can be an imaginary image or something the subject is looking at). Reference.
There are other non-image data sources that might be of interest:
- Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological Signals: http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/mmv/datasets/deap/ (EEGs only; no MRI)
- NBDC Human Database, Japan: https://humandbs.biosciencedbc.jp/ (mainly DNA sequences obtained with illumina dye sequencing)
