THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 4th,2023. Calibration data set of spoiled gradient-recalled echo magnetic resonance imaging data from five healthy volunteers (four males and one female) scanned twice at four sites having 1.5T systems from different vendors (Siemens, GE, Marconi Medical Systems) pooled by the Morphometry Testbed's (MBIRN). Some subjects were also scanned a single time at another site. One subject was only scanned twice at three sites (subject 73213384) and once at another site. For each subject, four Fast Low-Angle Shot (FLASH) scans with flip angles of 3, 5, 20, and 30 degrees were obtained in a single scan session, from which tissue proton density and T1 maps can be derived. These data were acquired to investigate various metrics of within-site and across-site reproducibility. The images have been defaced so that no facial features can be reconstructed from these data. The Morphometry Testbed (MBIRN) of the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) focused on pooling and analyzing of neuroimaging data acquired at multiple sites. Specific applications include potential relationships between anatomical differences and specific memory dysfunctions, such as Alzheimer's disease. With the completion of the initial BIRN testbed phase, each of the original BIRN testbeds have now been retired in order to focus on new users in other biomedical domains.

Data set of manually-guided expert segmentation results along with magnetic resonance brain image data. Its purpose is to encourage the development and evaluation of segmentation methods by providing raw test and image data, human expert segmentation results, and methods for comparing segmentation results. Please see the MediaWiki for more information. This repository is meant to contain standard test image data sets which will permit a standardized mechanism for evaluation of the sensitivity of a given analysis method to signal to noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, shape complexity, degree of partial volume effect, etc. This capability is felt to be essential to further development in the field since many published algorithms tend to only operate successfully under a narrow range of conditions which may not extend to those experienced under the typical clinical imaging setting. This repository is also meant to describe and discuss methods for the comparison of results.

http://www.loni.usc.edu/

Biomedical technology resource center specializing in novel approaches and tools for neuroimaging. It develops novel strategies to investigate brain structure and function in their full multidimensional complexity. There is a rapidly growing need for brain models comprehensive enough to represent brain structure and function as they change across time in large populations, in different disease states, across imaging modalities, across age and sex, and even across species. International networks of collaborators are provided with a diverse array of tools to create, analyze, visualize, and interact with models of the brain. A major focus of these collaborations is to develop four-dimensional brain models that track and analyze complex patterns of dynamically changing brain structure in development and disease, expanding investigations of brain structure-function relations to four dimensions.

Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI) datasets from 539 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 573 typical controls. This initiative involved 16 international sites, sharing 20 samples yielding 1112 datasets composed of both MRI data and an extensive array of phenotypic information common across nearly all sites. This effort is expected to facilitate discovery science and comparisons across samples. All datasets are anonymous, with no protected health information included.

http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/BCILAB

Open Source MATLAB toolbox and EEGLAB plugin for the design, prototyping, testing, experimentation with, and evaluation of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), and other systems in the same computational framework. It facilitates the design and development of new methods for cognitive state estimation and their use in both offline data analysis and real-time applications. BCILAB includes an easily extensible collection of currently over 100 methods from the literature (covering signal processing, machine learning and BCI-specific methods). Aside from supporting advanced BCI research, a special aim of BCILAB is to facilitate the adoption of machine learning and advanced statistical modeling for functional neuroimaging purposes in tandem with the EEGLAB platform. The toolbox offers multiple different interfaces which link to the same backend functionality, including a GUI, scripting support (MATLAB-based), APIs for real-time processing, and a variety of extension component interfaces. MATLAB programming is not strictly necessary, as most BCILAB features can be accessed from the GUI, although it is required for batch scripting and custom extensions. The strength of MATLAB-based software lies in its resources for leading-edge scientific computing, as well as in the good support for rapid prototyping, but BCI systems developed in it can be used for real-time out-of-lab experimentation, and can in principle be deployed without the need for a MATLAB license. However, due to the complexity and overhead of the MATLAB environment, the system is best used as a research platform, and not as a product development environment -- end-user software is ideally re-implemented in a compiled language, after a suitable approach has been identified and extensively tested. The process of identifying and testing an approach involves more than just computation, but also data exploration and investigation - an area which is helped by the deep integration with the EEGLAB platform. In the future, this integration will be further strengthened, bringing rich statistical learning and signal processing into routine EEG analysis workflows. The toolbox has been developed by C. Kothe at the Swartz Center, inspired by the preceding PhyPA BCI toolbox created by C. Kothe and T. Zander at the Chair for Human-Machine Systems, Berlin Institute of Technology.

https://vpixx.com/products/viewpixx-3d/

VIEWPixx /3D (VPixx Technologies) is a 1920x1080 resolution, 120 Hz, calibrated research-grade LCD monitor. It is designed for stereoscopic (3D) stimulus presentation and other high-dynamic vision-science paradigms where deterministic timing and synchronized I/O are critical. It pairs fast-response industrial TN LCD glass with a custom VPixx panel/video controller and a scanning direct-RGB LED backlight engineered to reduce motion artifacts/ghosting/crosstalk, and to improve spatial uniformity, while bypassing consumer “enhancement” processing for predictable experimental output. For stereoscopic workflows, VIEWPixx /3D supports 120 Hz frame-sequential 3D (60 Hz/eye) when used with 3DPixx active shutter glasses (RF emitter + glasses kit), and it can provide a dual-link DVI console output to mirror the participant's view without adding GPU load. The system is also a synchronized display + acquisition toolbox: integrated button-box interface, 24-channel TTL triggers, stereo audio I/O, and a full analog I/O subsystem are implemented on the same board as video control to enable microsecond-precision synchronization to video refresh—useful for EEG triggers, reaction-time tasks, and other timing-sensitive paradigms.In terms of bit depth, the VIEWPixx /3D is native 8 bits per colour, with support fot 10-bit resolution per RGB channel via custom video modes.
