Study: Human Connectome Project for Early Psychosis

The HCP Early Psychosis (HCP-EP) disease project is happy to announce its 1.1 release of updated imaging and behavioral data 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.

HCP-EP Release 1.1 data includes:

unprocessed data of all modalities (structural MRI, resting state fMRI, and diffusion MRI) for 183 subjects
updated minimally preprocessed structural MRI data for 169 subjects
updated clinical and behavioral data for 251 subjects (68 more than were released previously)

What’s new in the HCP-EP 1.1 release?

Preprocessed structural imaging data has been updated to include the intended CIFTI *.dscalar.nii and *.dlabel.nii brain maps.
Behavioral data has been updated to include the intended NIH Toolbox Cognition Composite Scores, Picture Sequence Memory Test, and Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test data.
Behavioral data is available for 251 subjects (68 more than the 1.0 release)
