# Human Connectome Project (HCP)
## Overview
The HCP produced landmark open datasets of high-resolution structural and functional MRI, diffusion MRI, MEG, and EEG in 1,200 healthy adults. Freely available via ConnectomeDB, it influenced the design of [[BIDS]] and remains a reference dataset for neuroimaging methods development.
## Standards Influenced
- [[BIDS]] — original design shaped by HCP data architecture and acquisition protocols
## Key Outputs
- HCP Young Adult dataset (1,200 subjects, 3T and 7T MRI)
- HCP Aging and HCP Development datasets
- HCP MMP parcellation (multimodal brain atlas)
- Open-source preprocessing pipelines
## Connections
- Influenced: [[BIDS]]
- Produced: [[CIFTI]] (surface+volume greyordinate format)
- Related: [[ENIGMA Consortium]], [[ADNI]], [[UK Biobank]]
- Platforms: ConnectomeDB, [[OpenNeuro]] (derivatives)
