For queries related to IMAGEN databank, please contact: imagendatabase@cea.fr

The IMAGEN database contains data collected and processed by the Imagen consortium from over 2000 adolescents and their parents. It includes demographics, neuropsychological assessments, medical questionnaires, MR neuroimaging and genomics. Data have been collected over a period of 10 years in 8 recruitment centers and over 4 successive time points: baseline at age 14 (BL), follow-up 1 at age 16 (FU1), follow-up 2 at age 19 (FU2) and follow-up 3 at age 23 (FU3).

Access data and software

To access the IMAGEN database, please refer to the data access policy (link to PDF). To gain access to IMAGEN Data, all researchers must submit a proposal (link to proposal) to ponscentre@charite.de. The proposal is circulated to the IMAGEN Consortium for their feedback. This is to ensure that there are no overlapping projects.  After proposal is accepted, data is accessible through SFTP under sftp://imagen2.cea.fr/data/.

We have written specific software and scripts for data collection, quality control, processing and publishing. We have published and maintain most of recent software in GitHub.

We have stored in Github:

• the Python scripts that download from Delosis servers and de-identify data,

• the R script that calls the Delosis R library for Psytools data derivation.

• FU2/FU3 MRI protocols,

• scripts and basic documentation for imaging data pre-processing.
