All users of HCP behavioral data: The HCP uses a behavioral battery which includes several measurements developed by the NIH Toolbox <http://www.nihtoolbox.org/> . Due to changes in how the NIH Toolbox calculates some of its scoring, scores for previously released Q1-Q3 HCP subjects will be updated accordingly as part of the upcoming HCP 500 Subjects release set for mid/late May 2014.
Specifically, the measures that will have updated scoring are: * Oral Reading Recognition Test * Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test * Picture Vocabulary Test * Motor 4-Meter Walk Gait Speed Test Most of the changes modestly affect the normative scaled scoring for all subjects. Details on the changes to the scoring can be found here: NIH Toolbox Measure Updates <http://www.nihtoolbox.org/WhatAndWhy/NIHToolboxeasureUpdates/Pages/default. aspx> If you are currently using data from these measures in an analysis of Q1-Q3 subjects, be aware that the subject scoring for these measures in ConnectomeDB will be updated to reflect the changes. If you need the older version scoring data currently available from ConnectomeDB <https://db.humanconnectome.org/> , make sure to download it before May 15, 2014. Please let us know if you have any questions ([email protected]). Join the hcp-users list here <http://humanconnectome.org/contact/#subscribe> . We hope you are looking forward to the release!
