HCP for Early Psychosis Data Released!
Elam, Jennifer
Announcing the first data release from the Human Connectome Project for Early Psychosis (HCP-EP) on the NIMH Data Archive (NDA)! HCP-EP is a study of subjects ages 16-35 focused specifically on early psychosis, both affective and non-affective, within the first five years of the initial onset of psychotic symptoms. This time period is important as it is when there are fewer confounds such as prolonged medication exposure and chronicity, and it is also a time period where early intervention strategies may be most effective, before irreversible brain alterations take place, which likely begin early in the course of illness.
The HCP-Early Psychosis Release 1.0 includes unprocessed data of all modalities (structural MRI, resting state fMRI, and diffusion MRI) for 183 subjects (34 affective and 91 non-affective psychotic patients and 58 matched healthy controls) and minimally preprocessed structural MRI data for 169 subjects, plus available demographic and behavioral data for released subjects. Users can download a single shared package (380 GB) with all released data or filter by modality, processing level, and subject GUID to create a custom package on the HCP Featured Datasets query page on NDA.
Read the HCP-EP Release 1.0 Reference Manual for instructions on getting access and obtaining the data on NDA. If you are new to the NDA, see below instructions to get started.
If you don't currently have an account on the NDA, start the process by creating an NDA account.

** If you already have access to ABCD or HCP Lifespan data, you only need to login to NDA to access HCP-EP data.
Stay tuned for the upcoming HCP Lifespan 2.0 Release of processed fMRI and behavioral data for HCP-Aging and HCP-Development studies (over 650 participants each) in late fall/early winter.
