Organizing and sharing brain imaging and behavior data
Data Aggregation, Standardization and Sharing
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · NATHAN S. KLINE INSTITUTE FOR PSYCH RES · NIH-11349782
This project will collect, clean, and share brain imaging and behavioral data from people and primates so researchers can study brain activity and disorders more easily.

What this research studies
A team across 15 institutions will gather experimental brain imaging and behavioral data from human participants and non-human primates. The Data Aggregation, Standardization, and Sharing Core will clean and do minimal preprocessing, apply quality control, and adopt community data standards. The core will store data on a platform that follows FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles and provide computational support to researchers across the center. By making standardized datasets and tools available, the core aims to speed collaborative analyses and reuse of the center's data.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people taking part in the center's brain imaging or behavioral projects, including those with neurological or psychiatric conditions who agree to provide data or samples.
Not a fit: People who are not enrolled in the center's data collection or whose conditions are unrelated to brain imaging or behavior may not directly benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could speed discoveries about brain function and neurological or psychiatric disorders by making data easier to share and compare.
How similar studies have performed: Large data-sharing efforts like the Human Connectome Project and ADNI have shown that standardized, shared brain datasets can accelerate research, and this core builds on those proven approaches.
