Hi Michael and Jennifer, Thank you both for your help, much appreciated. One remaining question - is there currently any cutoff for cognitive scores (i.e. for the MMSE for ex) for subjects being included in the 500 release dataset? Can't find mention of it in the ref manual, so Im guessing probably not.
