Description

The directories protocols and raw-data respectively contain the MRI settings and sample data for multi-parameter mapping (MPM) to be used with the hMRI-toolbox (http://hmri.info).
The data set is published in the context of the following article:

Callaghan, M. F., Lutti, A., Ashburner, J., Balteau, E., Corbin, N., Draganski, B., ... & Weiskopf, N. (2019). Example dataset for the hMRI toolbox. Data in brief, 25, 104132.

Sample dataset (raw-data)

In the raw-data directory, a sample dataset is provided as reference data to explore the functionalities of the hMRI-toolbox. The corresponding acquisition protocol can be found in hmri_sample_dataset_protocol_800um_64ch.pdf in the protocols directory.

Example MRI protocols (protocols)

In the protocols directory, the following are included:

• several example MRI protocols: standard MPM protocol using customised Siemens sequences, as well as MPM protocol implemented using Siemens and Philips product sequences
• setup for Siemens 3T MRI and a tutorial.

Please be aware that we provide these protocols and information without any warranty. They must be considered work-in-progress, possibly non-optimal protocols and information.
