HCP WU-Minn Consortium

*THE HUMAN CONNECTOME PROJECT WU-Minn Consortium* The Consortium will acquire and analyze several modalities of neuroimaging data plus behavioral and genetic data from 1200 healthy adults (300 twin pairs and siblings). The project will yield invaluable information about brain connectivity, its relationship to behavior, and contributions of genetic and environmental factors to individual differences in brain circuitry. Data will be shared with the scientific community via a user-friendly platform for data mining, analysis, and visualization. Phase I involves optimization of data acquisition and analysis methods. Phase II (2012-2015) will involve data acquisition from 400 subjects/year. The Consortium includes investigators at 10 institutions, co-lead institutions Washington U. and the U. of Minnesota, Oxford U., St. Louis U., Advanced MRI Technologies with UC Berkeley, Indiana U., the U. G. d’Annunzio, Radboud U. Nijmegen, the Ernst Strüngmann Institute, and Warwick U. http://www.humanconnectome.org
