Announcing the first data release from the Human Connectome Project for Early Psychosis (HCP-EP) on the NIMH Data Archive (NDA)

HCP-EP is a study of subjects ages 16-35 with early phase affective or non-affective psychoses, within 5 years of the initial onset of psychotic symptoms, plus healthy controls. A total of 183 subjects (34 affective and 91 non-affective psychotic patients, plus 58 matched healthy controls)  are included in the HCP-EP 1.0 Release. 

HCP-Early Psychosis Release 1.0 data includes unprocessed data of all modalities (structural MRI, resting state fMRI, and diffusion MRI) for 183 subjects and minimally preprocessed structural MRI data for 169 subjects, plus available demographic and behavioral data for released subjects. 

Users can download a single shared package (1.3 TB) with all released data or filter by modality, processing level, and subject GUID to create a custom package on the HCP Featured Datasets query page
