As of September 2016, we have the HCP S900 Data Release, version 2016-03-14.
See the HCP site for more details.
This data set falls under HCP's Open Access Data definition.

The S900 data set we have includes behavioral data that is covered by the Open Access terms. Additional behavioral data falls under HCP's Restricted Data category, and requires additional approval which is left to individual labs to obtain.

The open-access demographic data for the S900 set is on the cluster here:

/data/HCP_data/S900_2016_03_14/S900_Release_Subjects_Demographics.csv
/data/HCP_data/S900_2016_03_14/S900_Release_Subjects_Demographics.README

The data is at /data/HCP_data

There are three requirements to gain access to the data on the CfN cluster:

1) There is a $250/year fee for each lab/PI to use the data. This helps offset the costs of maintaining the data. Please have your PI send an email approving the fee for HCP data use. We'll charge the fee to the same BEN billing account used for your other cluster fees.

2) Each user who will be using the data in any way needs to agree to the HCP Data Use Terms and send proof to CfN cluster admins (see below).

3) Each user who will be using the data must agree to the Siemens Gradient Coefficient Use Terms, see below.

All users of the data must accept the HCP Data Use Terms - specifically, the terms for Open Access Data. It is not sufficient for a single member of a lab/group to accept the terms and then have anyone else in the lab use the data. Every researcher who uses or views the data must agree to these terms.

We have spoken with Penn IRB and they do not require individual review by lab/PI/project for the use of the Open Access Data.

1) Create an account with ConnectomeDB.

2) Login and accept terms for “WU-Minn HCP Data - 900 Subjects + 7T” on this page

3) Grab a screenshot showing you've accepted the terms, including your username in the upper-right corner, and the phrase “Open Access Terms Accepted” in the lower-left corner, as seen here:

4) Send the screenshot to CfN admins (along with the Siemens agreement, below)

If you intend to use scanner gradient coefficient files to correct your images (per HCP protocol), see Scanner Gradient Coefficient Files.
