Overview
PRIME-DE provides a platform for sharing functional, diffusion, and structural MRI data to support in vivo studies of non-human primate brain organization, structural and functional networks, and cross-species comparisons.
Modalities & Collections
Depending on the contributing site, datasets in PRIME-DE include:
- Modalities: Structural MRI (T1-weighted, T2-weighted), diffusion MRI, resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, naturalistic viewing fMRI, field maps, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
- Collections: Multiple macaque species (Macaca mulatta, Macaca fascicularis), awake and anesthetized protocols, and scanners spanning 1.5T, 3T, 7T, and beyond.
- Quality assurance: Evaluated with standardized quality metrics, including the Preprocessed Connectome Project Quality Assurance Protocol (QAP), alongside Fiber Data Hub
qc.tsvtables.
Usage Agreement & Citation
Data sharing policies vary by dataset and are defined by the contributing investigators (commonly CC BY-NC-SA, CC BY, or dataset-specific Data Usage Agreements through the 1000 Functional Connectomes Project / INDI portal). Users must comply with the license associated with each dataset and cite both PRIME-DE and the relevant dataset-specific publications.
