Individual Brain Charting (v5.0)

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has opened the door to brain mapping of perceptual, motor, or cognitive functions. As such, it provides an instrumental basis for the whole field of cognitive neuroimaging. However, there exists to date no data collection that systematically maps representations for a wide-variety of mental functions at a fine spatial scale. The Individual Brain Charting (IBC) project is collecting a high-resolution multi-task-fMRI dataset to provide an objective basis for a comprehensive atlas of brain responses. The data refer to a cohort of participants performing many different tasks. Acquiring a large amount of tasks on the same subjects yields a precise mapping of the underlying functions, free from both inter-subject and inter-site variability. Additionally, the dataset comes with high-resolution anatomical and diffusion images, to achieve a fine anatomical characterization of these brains.
