HCP Data Collections are part of NDA’s Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) permission group. Request access to these data in your NDA Permissions Dashboard.

Prepackaged datasets contain tabular data and associated imaging files for the full data release. Datasets created in Option Two utilize filters in the NDA query tool to generate a subset of the data release. From the landing page, select to ‘Create Package’ to initiate data access.

From your Packages Dashboard, create an oracle database to work with data packages in the cloud by selecting ‘create mindar’ or open up the Download Manager tool to download locally. Prepackaged datasets are over 5TB, making local downloads difficult.

Read HCP Data Access Instructions for step-by-step instructions on obtaining the data.

NDA encourages cloud computing as an efficient alternative to local downloads. Submit a request for computational credits in your NDA Permissions Dashboard or use your own cloud computing account.

Release Notes for HCP-A and HCP-D are hosted by the Connectome Coordination Facility.
