title: Native space mesh descriptors computed with FreeSurfer 6 for all ABIDE I subjects

description: # ABIDE I FreeSurfer 6 'native space descriptors' data <br> This archive contains the following ABIDE I FreeSurfer 6 native space mesh descriptors:<br> thickness, area, volume, sulc, curv, jacobian_white. <br> ## Credits This data is derived from the MRI scans of the ABIDE I dataset: * ABIDE I dataset: https://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/abide/ Quoting from that website: "The Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange I (ABIDE I) represents the first<br> ABIDE initiative. Started as a grass roots effort, ABIDE I involved 17<br> international sites, sharing previously collected resting state functional<br> magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI), anatomical and phenotypic datasets<br> made available for data sharing with the broader scientific community.<br> This effort yielded 1112 dataset, including 539 from individuals with<br> ASD and 573 from typical controls (ages 7-64 years, median 14.7 years<br> across groups). This aggregate was released in August 2012. Its<br> establishment demonstrated the feasibility of aggregating resting<br> state fMRI and structural MRI data across sites; the rate of these<br> data use and resulting publications (see Manuscripts) have shown its<br> utility for capturing whole brain and regional properties of the brain<br> connectome in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In accordance with<br> HIPAA guidelines and 1000 Functional Connectomes Project / INDI<br> protocols, all datasets have been anonymized, with no protected<br> health information included."
