Human Connectome Project

The Human Connectome Project is known for:

Exceptionally high-quality data (e.g., high-resolution data collected on a specially built 7T scanner) that is processed with their own specialized pipelines.
Surface-based image formats CIFTI and GIFTI.
Connectome Workbench for manipulating and viewing the surface-based formats: wb_command is a command-line tool. wb_view is a graphical tool and must be run from an interactive desktop. Both of these are available to you on the High-Performance Computing cluster.
An exceptional atlas: HCP-MMP1 atlas developed with information from multiple modalities.

Because the Human Connectome Project predated the introduction of the BIDS, it does not make its data available in the BIDS data structure (but see QuNex). Nevertheless, Human Connectome Project data is available with DataLad.

Creating a Human Connectome Project Login

✅ You must set up an account on the Human Connectome Project in order to obtain an AWS key for data access.

✅ With a login, you can browse and download data or browse the HCP1200 dataset on the ConnectomeDB. Cyberduck is actually a pretty good choice for this.

Datalad and HCP?

Datalad *should* work to download HCP data if you are logged in with your AWS Key. I just haven't had any luck with `datalad get` and my keys.
