Very interesting project!! You might want to take a look at neuropredict to help with analyzing the predictive utility of various features : github.com/raamana

Nice work! I can participate from remote

Thanks @raamana for the suggestion!

[matteofrigo]

@maurozucchelli thank you for your help! We'll set up a way to let you (and possibly others) to join us remotely.

Hi @matteofrigo is this still open? I would like to work on the ADNI 3 data but can't find the multi-shell data on their repository.
Thanks

Great project ! Can I ask : what are the limitations for re-sharing original and derived data from ADNI data usage agreement?

[raamana]

JB, ADNI's DUA (like ABCD and some others) simply prohibits from redistributing anything (raw data, or derived features) outside a collaboration for which the DUA was signed for.. so they can never post the features or raw images online. They could share it with internal collaborators at the same institute..

I wrote to NIH about it, but they were discouraging (and even intimidated me to not pursue the change of policies).

[jbpoline]

Wouldnt this be an issue for this project ?

[raamana]

Not for me as I don't need the features shared to me -- I was mostly thinking advising them (on ML, biomarker performance eval and neuropredict etc) at that time (May 2019).. Not sure where the project stands, and what their plans are now..

[matteofrigo]

Hi @jbpoline and @raamana , I reported your concerns to my collaborators that work in ADNI, which in turn said that they would discuss this issue with the PIs.

Regarding this specific project, we did a preliminary analysis and we presented it last year at ISMRM 2020. Hopefully in the future we will find some time to dive deeper into the problem!
