Available Data

BIRN TOOL IS UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD DURING THE WEEK OF APRIL 6 - APRIl 10, 2009. PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER IN THE WEEK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND UPDATES. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

The BDR is a sustainable archive that facilitates the sharing and exchange of data generated by the biomedical research community. Biomedical imaging data from humans and animal models are the primary data type available with a minimal set of descriptive metadata, and in some cases, associated clinical, genetic, or other biomedical data. Data are available through BDR resources including a variety of searchable databases along with archived downloads. Future BDR releases will allow data discovery via a concept-based query interface.

All data are freely available to the public with the provision of an active e-mail address and acceptance of the standard BDR Data Use Agreement; this agreement will be required prior to data download. To bypass this requirement in the future when using this device, please enable cookies, which will save your original acceptance of the Agreement; or create your own personalized BDR Portal Account, where these provisions are agreed to at account registration.

Please consider sharing your own data, or data resulting from your use of downloaded data, through the BDR to extend and strengthen this collaborative environment.

BIRN DATA REPOSITORY SOURCES:

Human Imaging Database (HID)

  • Traveling subjects study (Phase I): This dataset includes five healthy subjects imaged twice at each of ten FBIRN MRI scanners on successive days. Functional and structural imaging, behavioral, and demographic data are available from 100 scanning sessions on these subjects.
  • Neuroimaging Calibration Study (Phase II): The FBIRN multi-site dataset of subjects with schizophrenia and controls includes functional MRI images, behavioral data, demographic, and clinical assessments on 253 subjects from around the US. Subjects were recruited locally, evaluated with a standardized clinical assessment battery, and scanned twice at each of the 9 participating FBIRN sites. A standard FBIRN protocol was used for image acquisition with controlled variation at different sites and included a sensorimotor task (SM), an Auditory Oddball task (AO), a Serial Item Recognition Paradigm (SIRP), and a breathhold task (BH).
  • BrainScape Resting State fMRI Dataset 1: This dataset includes seventeen healthy subjects with four resting state fixation scans plus one T1 scan and one T2 scan. The data were collected as part of a study on the behavioral effects of spontaneous BOLD fluctuations.
  • BrainScape Resting State< fMRI Dataset 2: This dataset includes ten healthy subjects scanned 3 times with 3 conditions: eyes open, eyes closed, and fixating in addition to two anatomical scans (T1 and T2).

XNAT

  • Open Access Structural Imaging Series (OASIS): This set consists of a cross-sectional collection of 416 human subjects aged 18 to 96, including individuals with Alzheimer's disease; T1-weighted MRI scans obtained in single scan sessions are included. Additionally, a reliability data set is included containing 20 nondemented subjects imaged on a subsequent visit within 90 days of their initial session.
  • Multisite Imaging Research In the Analysis of Depression (MIRIAD): A multiple institution study of structural MRI, including raw PD and T2 MRIs and derived measures of white matter changes, basal ganglia and other regions. Demographic and extensive clinical assessment data is available for each case.
  • High SNR Healthy Volunteer DTI Calibration Dataset at 1.5T (MorphDTI_p0001): This dataset contains the acquired DTI data and the co-registered DTI data for a healthy male volunteer scanned on three separate scanning sessions over 2 days. This large dataset (45 DTI scans) can be used as a reference for DTI data on a 1.5 T scanner to validate analysis methods and calibrate the SNR requirements and acquisition schemes of multi-site DTI imaging studies.
  • Efficient Longitudinal Upload of Depression in the Elderly (ELUDE): The ELUDE dataset is a longitudinal study of late-life depression at Duke University. There are 281 depressed subjects and 154 controls included. An MR scan of each subject was obtained every 2 years for up to 8 years (total of 1093 scans). Clinical assessments occurred more frequently and consists of a battery of psychiatric tests including several depression-specific tests.

Cell Centered Data Base (CCDB)

  • The Cell Centered Database (CCDB) contains high resolution 2D, 3D, and 4D data from light and electron microscopy from the nervous system and other systems.

Microarray Database

  • Through the Mouse BIRN Atlasing Toolkit (MBAT), it is possible to access processed microarray data from multiple experiments and data sources. This data covers several strains, developmental stages, and non-neural data.
