The Preprocessed Connectomes Project (PCP) is pleased to announce the public release and open sharing of preprocessed neuroimaging data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE). A consortium of the International Neuroimaging Datasharing Initiative (INDI), ABIDE is a collaboration of 16 international imaging sites that have aggregated and are openly sharing neuroimaging data from 539 individuals suffering from ASD and 573 typical controls. These 1112 datasets are composed of structural and resting state functional MRI data along with an extensive array of phenotypic information.
Data from ABIDE was preprocessed by five different teams using their preferred tools. Functional preprocessing was performed using: the Connectome Computation System (CCS), the Configurable Pipeline for the Analysis of Connectomes (CPAC), the Data Processing Assistant for Resting-State fMRI (DPARSF) and the NeuroImaging Analysis Kit. Due to the controversies surrounding bandpass filtering and global signal regression, four different preprocessing strategies were performed with each pipeline: all combinations of with and without filtering and with and without global signal correction. To limit the variance between outputs to just preprocessing, statistical derivatives for each pipeline and strategy were calculated by the CPAC software. Structural preprocessing and calculation of cortical measures was performed using three different pipelines: ANTS, CIVET, and FreeSurfer. Refer to the links at the top for more information about the different pipelines and derivatives.
In accordance with HIPAA guidelines and 1000 Functional Connectomes Project / INDI protocols, all datasets are anonymous, with no protected health information included.
