One correction to the following: Again, as stated in the Ref Manual Introduction, one thing you should be aware of is that the fMRI data collected in Q1, Q2, and part of Q3 was reconstructed with a slightly different reconstruction algorithm than subsequent data. You can filter on Study Completion>Image Reconstruction Info: 3T MR>3T MR fMRI Recon Version, if you think it might make a difference to your analyses.
This is stated correctly in the 500 Subjects Reference Manual <http://humanconnectome.org/documentation/S500/HCP_S500+MEG2_Release_Reference_Manual.pdf> and on the HCP Issues Wiki <https://wiki.humanconnectome.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=29589520> , which has some more information on the ramifications of the reconstruction algorithm change. Please look at these documents before embarking on analyses involving HCP data so you can be aware of all the current information that might affect your results.

They do, of course, have a range of abilities and scores on the behavioral tests we conduct. There is a lot of information in Chapter 1 of the current 500 Subjects Reference Manual <http://humanconnectome.org/documentation/S500/HCP_S500+MEG2_Release_Reference_Manual.pdf> for navigating the behavioral data and for filtering subjects—please check it out. There is also a “Download CSV button” at the upper right of the subject Dashboard that will allow you to download all the open access behavioral data in one spreadsheet. Look at the sections of the Reference Manual on Restricted access data to see if you need to apply for access to that data for your purposes. As detailed in the Introduction section of the Reference Manual, subjects that were originally acquired or released in different quarters/releases can be combined in analyses because we ran all subjects through the same analysis pipelines as of the 500 subjects release (as long as you are using data currently in ConnectomeDB, the S500 Connectome in a Box, or S500 S3 Bucket data). Again, as stated in the Ref Manual Introduction, one thing you should be aware of is that the fMRI data collected in Q1 and part of Q2 was reconstructed with a slightly different reconstruction algorithm than subsequent data. You can filter on Study Completion>Image Reconstruction Info: 3T MR>3T MR fMRI Recon Version, if you think it might make a difference to your analyses. In the upcoming 900 Subjects release (coming within the next couple of weeks!), the new subject data will also be comparable to the 500 Subject release data. Pipeline changes since the S500 release have been mostly minor and have only added to the data available (more details to come).

These should be young, healthy, subjects that have no abnormalities and cognitively able. Does anyone have any pointers about how I can go weeding out subjects? Under "Subject Information" of all subjects, I can see a list of all subjects, where I can see age, release and gender. And when I click on the subject, I find a bunch of behavioral tests and their results for that subject. Should subjects from different releases be combined? Which is the most recent release? Are there certain scores for cognitive assessments that are considered to weed out the cognitively able, healthy subjects? Is this data available somewhere in a spreadsheet form, without having to go into each subject and scrolling though their various assessment scores? Anything would help.
