About

This is pre-processed structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data from the ABIDE I dataset. In short, we downloaded all 1035 ABIDE I subjects and ran their brain scans through FreeSurfer v6 recon-all and related tools (aseg stats, aparc start, lGI computation). The full size of the dataset is 790 GB, so we make it available in chunks.

The uploaded archives are very large already (> 30 GB), so we opted not to upload log files, temporary files and other parts of the FreeSurfer 6 output which are not relevant for neuroimaging research. We have the full data though, and if you feel you require a file that is missing, we can add that file for all subjects in another upload. Please get in touch by opening an issue in that case.

Available data

The following data is available:

Aggregated stats (by subject, aggregated over atlas regions)

The following aggregated stats were generated by us using aparcstats2table, with our parallel_anatomical_stats scripts.

  • aggregated aparc stats (based on cortical parcellations):
  • aggregated aparc.a2009s stats (based on cortical parcellations):
  • aggregated aseg stats (based on volume segmentation):

The following information on the volume of various brain regions was generated by us by parsing parts of the aseg/aparc stats and running mris_anatomical_stats, implemented in our extract_total_brain_measures.bash script. We tried to give expressive names to the columns, but if in doubt, check the script to see how exactly a certain column was computed. These are typically used as covariates to control for in statistical analyses, along with demographical information on the subject (which is available on the ABIDE website as a CSV file).
