Overview

The Yale Low-Resolution Controls (Yale Lowres) comprises 100 healthy individuals and was collected with the purpose of assessing the intrinsic organization of the human brain at rest. For each subject, eight functional scans (48 min total) and two anatomical scans (MPRAGE and FLASH) were acquired. The complete dataset includes:

Data are also available for download as files in an Amazon Web Services S3 bucket.

Each file in the S3 bucket can only be accessed using HTTP (i.e., no ftp or scp ). You can obtain a URL for each desired file and then download it using an HTTP client such as a web browser, wget, or curl. Each file can only be accessed using its literal name - wildcards (i.e. "*") will not work.

There are file transfer programs that can handle S3 natively and will allow you to navigate through the data using a file browser. Cyberduck is one such program that works with Windows and Mac OS X (New Cyberduck version might not work, please try version 5.03.). Cyberduck also has a command line version that works with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Instructions for using the Cyberduck program are as follows:
