Diffusion and anatomical neuroimaging data from the MGH-USC Human Connectome Project are openly available to the scientific community for examination and exploration. These include brain image and results volumes obtained from the advanced Siemens 3T Connectom imaging system based at MGH as well as data obtained using conventional imaging systems.

We invite investigators to apply for access to these data from the Human Connectome Project. The application process takes just a few minutes. You are asked to read and agree to the terms in the HCP Data Use Agreement and provide some basic information about your research. Your application will be reviewed within 3 business days. Once accepted, you will be notified by email about how to access your account, where you may log in and download data to your machine. Interested users may also access the database directly using the LONI Pipeline Workflow Environment.

Citing Use of HCP Data

As part of the HCP Data Use Agreement, we require that you acknowledge the MGH-USC HCP collaborative as the source of these data in your published manuscripts, conference presentations, etc as follows:

Data collection and sharing for this project was provided by the MGH-USC Human Connectome Project (HCP; Principal Investigators: Bruce Rosen, M.D., Ph.D., Arthur W. Toga, Ph.D., Van J. Weeden, MD). HCP funding was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). HCP data are disseminated by the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at the University of Southern California.
