Data license

Five of the six CNeuroMod subjects (sub-01, sub-02, sub-03, sub-05 and sub-06) have chosen to openly share their data. This data is distributed under a CC0 license — it is dedicated to the public domain and may be reused, including for commercial purposes, without asking permission.

Data from sub-04 is not openly licensed. It remains available to researchers, but only through a signed inter-institutional Data Transfer Agreement (DTA) — see Access for the request process.

Copyrighted stimuli used in some experimental paradigms (e.g. movies, video games, audiobooks) are an exception to CC0: the data recorded from participants remains CC0, but the third-party stimulus material itself remains under its original copyright. See the README of each dataset for stimulus-specific details.

The floc dataset’s face/place/object localizer images are tracked from the VPNL/fLoc stimulus set, which does not itself carry a license. Their reuse terms are therefore currently unclear; an issue has been opened upstream to clarify licensing, and this page will be updated once that is resolved.

Third-party assets used under fair use or other licenses

The documentation site itself also carries a small number of third-party assets that are not CNeuroMod data and are not covered by the CC0 grant above. Each is used under its own license or a fair-use rationale, tracked individually. The detailed list of licenses and credits will be published on this page.
