Access to Data

Partial fully unrestricted data access

Five of the six CNeuroMod subjects (sub-01, sub-02, sub-03, sub-05 and sub-06) have chosen to openly share their data via the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP). These data are distributed under a liberal Creative Commons data license, in particular authorizing re-sharing of derivates. Note that you can use the instructions in this guide directly - the command will retrieve all the CONP data and simply raise warnings about the other subjects, which require an access key to download (see next Section for full access).

Complete CNeuroMod databank via Data Transfer Agreement (DTA)

To access the data from all 6 subjects in the CNeuroMod databank, researchers are required to complete a form with a brief description of planned analyses, and complete an inter-institutional data transfer agreement. The data transfer agreement must be signed by the researcher responsible for the project as well as a representative of the main academic institution where the research team is affiliated. The application will be evaluated by a data access committee and, if approved, a transfer key will be shared with the research team in order to transfer the data (see Downloading).

How to apply

Fill out one of the access forms below:

If you have any question regarding the access form, send us an email at courtois.neuromod@gmail.com. These forms are also listed on the access request page of the CNeuroMod website.

Before you apply

We encourage anyone who wants to apply to read the databank management rules and procedures (data management plan, version of March 17, 2026) beforehand. This document is a reference to understand how the CNeuroMod databank operates.

The data transfer agreement template is not published yet. A completed version of the agreement will be forwarded to you for signature after the scientific project is approved.
