Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects over 1% of the population yet our understanding of it and individuals affected by ASD remains complex. The heterogeneity seen in ASD proves diagnosing, treating, and predicting outcomes of ASD to be elusive. The goal of ABIDE is to aggregate brain imaging data from laboratories internationally to study ASD in order to better understand its complexities. 

The AMFM lab is a collaborator in the consortium for our current and previous research projects. With the permission of our participants we are able to add to the growing knowledge of ASD in the hopes of making new scientific discoveries to improve our understanding of ASD.
