6.1.16. nilearn.datasets.fetch_nyu_rest

nilearn.datasets.fetch_nyu_rest(n_subjects=None, sessions=[1], data_dir=None, resume=True, verbose=1)

Download and loads the NYU resting-state test-retest dataset.

Parameters:

n_subjects: int, optional :

The number of subjects to load. If None is given, all the subjects are used.

sessions: iterable of int, optional :

The sessions to load. Load only the first session by default.

data_dir: string, optional :

Path of the data directory. Used to force data storage in a specified location. Default: None
Returns:

data: sklearn.datasets.base.Bunch :

Dictionary-like object, the interest attributes are : ‘func’: string list. Paths to functional images. ‘anat_anon’: string list. Paths to anatomic images. ‘anat_skull’: string. Paths to skull-stripped images. ‘session’: numpy array. List of ids corresponding to images sessions.

Notes

This dataset is composed of 3 sessions of 26 participants (11 males). For each session, three sets of data are available:

  • anatomical:
    • anonymized data (defaced thanks to BIRN defacer)
    • skullstripped data (using 3DSkullStrip from AFNI)
  • functional

For each participant, 3 resting-state scans of 197 continuous EPI functional volumes were collected :

  • 39 slices
  • matrix = 64 x 64
  • acquisition voxel size = 3 x 3 x 3 mm

Sessions 2 and 3 were conducted in a single scan session, 45 min apart, and were 5-16 months after Scan 1.
