<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">The Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN; <a href="http://www.cam-can.org" target="_blank">
www.cam-can.org</a>) is pleased to announce the release of raw data from
the first wave of Phase II of the Cam-CAN cohort. These data include
MRI, MEG and cognitive data from approximately 650 males and females
uniformly distributed from 18 to 88 years of age.
The sample is unique in its population-representativeness (e.g,
relative to national census data) and the depth and breadth of
neuroimaging and cognitive assessment. The MRI data (in NIFTI and BIDS
format) include T1-weighted, T2-weighted and Diffusion-weighted
3T MRI images, plus 3 runs of BOLD-weighted images during 1) rest, 2)
movie-watching and 3) an event-related sensorimotor task (with combined
visual and auditory stimuli cueing a motor response); the MEG data (in
FIF format) include 3 runs of 1) rest, 2) the
same sensorimotor task as the fMRI and 3) a passive sensory task (with
separate visual and auditory stimuli); the behavioural data include
scores on tasks assessing a range of cognitive domains, such as fluid
intelligence, memory, language, among others. For

We hope to release more data (e.g, MT-weighted and
preprocessed MRI/MEG data) in future. The data are provided freely after
agreeing to minimal conditions, via this page:
