Projects that are “on-going” have the target N listed, though the current available sample size (as of February 2021) or if the on-going nature is related to the collection of subsequent longitudinal timepoints. Numbers after “multi-site” indicate the number of sites. “resting state” indicates that resting-state fMRI data is available (but not task), “task fMRI” indicates that task, and often resting-state, fMRI data are available; “multimodal” indicates that other imaging modalities are available beyond T1-weighted and fMRI data; “behaviour” indicates that a substantial amount of non-fMRI behavioural measures; “genetics” indicates that at least some genetics data was also acquired and is shared. Sample sizes for the dementia and other clinical samples include all individuals (i.e., including matched healthy controls). See main text for a detailed description of the accessibility score
