# 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 produced the [[CIFTI]] file format for surface-based neuroimaging data. It remains a reference dataset for neuroimaging methods development. ## Key Outputs - The HCP Young Adult dataset includes 1,200 subjects imaged at 3T and 7T MRI. - HCP Aging and HCP Development extend the Young Adult cohort to lifespan coverage. - The HCP MMP parcellation is a multimodal brain atlas widely used for surface-based analyses. - Open-source preprocessing pipelines are publicly available on GitHub. ## Connections - registeredIn: [[NIMH Data Archive]] (HCP Development cohort hosted in NDA) ## Resources - https://www.humanconnectome.org - https://db.humanconnectome.org
