This dataset contains whole-brain MRI data from three rhesus macaques, acquired at the Nathan Kline Institute (NKI) Translational Neuroscience Laboratory.
It includes functional MRI (fMRI) with contrast-enhanced (MION) echo planar imaging, T1- and T2-weighted structural scans, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for each subject.

The fMRI component encompasses a mix of anesthetized resting-state scans, somatosensory stimulation, and awake movie-watching paradigms, enabling multimodal analysis of cortical organization and brain network function in non-human primates.

Purpose

The NKI Macaque MRI Dataset provides a multimodal reference for investigating cross-species neuroimaging, particularly in the context of functional connectivity, anatomical tractography, and comparative cortical mapping.
It enables validation of non-human primate connectomics and supports methodological development in fMRI preprocessing, motion correction, and cross-species registration workflows.
