How to get access?
Between 2019 and 2024, we have tested over 900 individuals in their thirties, who have collectively spent over 500,000 hours on tests and tasks. On December 30, 2023, the last testing day took place. Data collection in the lab, at home, and online has been very successful. In total, we conducted more than 2300 testing days and include over 700 complete datasets. Additionally, around 300 participants collected partial data. All researchers of Radboud University, Radboudumc, and the MPI for Psycholinguistics are eligible to request data. Find out more about how to get access to the data here.

History of the Healthy Brain Study
Between 2019 and 2024, we have tested over 900 individuals in their thirties, who have collectively spent over 500,000 hours on tests and tasks. On December 30, 2023, the last testing day took place. Data collection in the lab, at home, and online has been very successful. In total, we conducted more than 2300 testing days and include over 700 complete datasets. Additionally, around 300 participants collected partial data. This study marks the next step in comprehending the human brain and its dynamic and individual functioning within its bio-social context. With great enthusiasm, the set-up of an accessible resource for the scientific community is drawing closer. We are very proud of and grateful to the recruitment team, research assistants, and data team, who made all of this possible!
We already had four successful rounds of the preliminary Healthy Brain Study (HBS) data release, in which researchers of Radboud University, Radboudumc, and the MPI for Psycholinguistics requested data. Have a look at the projects using HBS data here
If you are interested in the HBS data, please send an email to hbs-data@radboudumc.nl.
Data/Biosample access procedure
Please review the accepted project proposals before handing in your own proposal.
Please read the bylaws for full context and procedures!
Please look at the data table, metadata and the protocol paper for more information on the measures and the responsible experts who contributed to the design and/or the preprocessing of the data. We strongly suggest that you contact and collaborate with these researchers when requesting the data.
If you are interested in analyzing biosamples for your project, read the HBS procedure for biosample requests.
Follow the steps below to request HBS data and/or biosamples. For questions, email hbs-data@radboudumc.nl.
Step 1: Fill in the data request form and select which data and/or biosamples, and – if applicable – data/biosamples from which session you would like to request. We can only readily release data which has been cleaned (C), processed (P), uploaded (U), and complemented with metadata (M). If you request data which are not available yet, please keep in mind additional waiting time.
Step 2: Your data request is reviewed for general eligibility, consistency between research question and data request, and data privacy.
Step 3: Upon successful evaluation, the data transfer agreement is signed. Please note that preregistration of the research proposal is required before signing. We require a preregistration because it promotes transparency in science.
Step 4: Read the data download manual, which explains how to download the data from PEP (Polymorphic Encryption and Pseudonymisation), our data sharing repository, onto your Digital Research Environment (DRE), project drive or secure alternative processing environment. Always check your data when receiving them!
Step 6: Use our standard texts and references for your preregistration, publications and grant applications.
Future perspective final data release
Data acquisition finished at the end of 2023. We are very proud of and grateful to the recruitment team, the research assistants, and the data team who are making this possible. We also thank the experts who have been supporting our team in preprocessing the data and making them available to all of you!
