The experiment with synchronous EEG-fMRI was conducted in Changzhou Second People's Hospital. Participants were scanned with a 3-T scanner (Philips Medical Systems) while wearing an EEG-Cap (HydroCel Geodesic Sensor Net; Electrical Geodesics, Inc., Eugene, OR). EEG data were collected by using Net Station software from 64 channels in 10-10 montages at the sampling rate of 250 Hz. Cz served as the reference. The impedance of all electrodes was kept below 50 kΩ. Functional MRI data acquisition (3-T scanner, Philips Medical System) was performed using a gradient echo EchoPlanar Imaging sequence [repetition time (TR) = 2,000 ms, echo time (TE) = 35 ms, flip angle = 90°, and voxel size = 3 × 3 × 3 mm]. A total of 24 continuous slices parallel to the anterior commissure-posterior commissure line were acquired per volume (field of view of 230 × 182 mm and matrix of 96 × 74). A structural MRI image was also collected from each participant with a voxel size of 1 × 1 × 1 mm. The EEG and fMRI data were synchronized using a synchronization box.

Multimodal Neuroimaging of Aging and Cognition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We considered 23 participants from Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project (VMAP) [12 (link)] and 25 from Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) [13 (link)]. The data covers 48 participants aged 55 to 86 years with 18 female and 22 with mild cognitive impairment. Both sites used single shell acquisitions but varied the gradient schemes. VMAP acquired 32 directions at a b-value of 700 s/mm2, and BLSA acquired 64 samples at a b-value of 1000 s/mm2, respectively. BLSA used a Philips 3T scanner at a resolution of 2.2 × 2.2 × 2.2 mm3 and resampled to 0.81 × 0.81 × 2.2 mm3. VMAP used a Philips 3T scanner at a resolution of 2 × 2 × 2 mm3.
DWI from all participants underwent preprocessing to remove eddy current, motion, and echo-planar imaging (EPI) distortions prior to any harmonization or model fitting [14 (link)].

MidRISH Harmonization of Multisite Diffusion Data

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To validate MidRISH at harmonizing data from the same study but different scanners, we analyzed 74 Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) (adni.loni.usc.edu) patients split between GE 3T and SIEMENS 3T scanners, matched for sex (22 females from each) and age (72.7±6.7 years). Both had b-values of 1000 s/mm2 and were sampled at 48 directions and stored with 2 × 2 × 2 mm3 resolution. This cohort was launched in 2003 as a public-private partnership, led by Principal Investigator Michael W. Weiner, MD [23 (link)].
For the cross-study analysis, we used sex-age-diagnosis matched data from Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project (VMAP) and Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). We considered 117 participants free of cognitive impairment (total of 234) with 65 females and ages 71.9±7.43. Both sites used single shell acquisitions but varied gradient schemes. VMAP acquired 32 directions at a b-value of 1000 s/mm2, and BLSA acquired 64 samples at a b-value of 700 s/mm2, respectively. BLSA used a Philips 3T scanner at a resolution of 2.2 × 2.2 × 2.2 mm3 and resampled to 0.81 × 0.81 × 2.2 mm3. VMAP used a Philips 3T scanner at a resolution of 2 × 2 × 2 mm3.

Longitudinal Structural Brain Imaging Atlas

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We analyzed structural data from two cohorts of participants. We first constructed a sulcal curve atlas dataset using 21 subjects from the publicly available KIRBY21 database (11 males; 10 females; age range=22-61) [49 (link)]. Structural images in the atlas dataset were acquired with (3T Philips MPRAGE sequence with a 1×1×1.2 mm3 resolution and an FOV of 240×204×256 mm3). Our primary analyses were carried out using data from 784 participants in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) (349 males; 435 females; mean age=72 years; range = 25–99) [43 ]. Participants in this study were scanned 1–7 times over a period of 8.5 years on a Philips 3T scanner using a 3D “magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo” (MPRAGE) sequence. Each image had 170×256×256 voxels with 1.2×1×1 mm3 resolution. The local Institutional Review Boards approved the study, and all participants provided written informed consent at each visit. From the BLSA dataset, we created 3 samples of participants. The training set consisted of 1–7 longitudinal scans from 759 individuals for a total of 1374 separate MRI sessions. The validation dataset was constructed from single sessions from 28 individuals that are not included as part of the training set. Single session data from 22 participants not included in the training or validation datasets were used to create a test dataset.

Brain MRI Image Synthesis and Denoising

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The image synthesis GAN and the denoising autoencoder experiments were conducted on 528 T1-weighted brain MRI images from healthy controls (ages 29–94 years old, mean of 67.9 years old) as part of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) study, which is a study of aging operated by the National Institute of Aging [15 (link)]. MR images were acquired on a Phillips 3T scanner using an MPRAGE sequence and with 1mm isotropic voxel resolution. All subjects were affine-registered to MNIs-space and intensity-normalized. For computation efficiency, the single midline axial slice was chosen for each subject to train the model. The dimensions of all slices were 220 × 172 voxels.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-brain images were acquired on a Phillips 3T scanner equipped with an 8-channel head-coil. Resting-state fMRI data were obtained using a single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) gradient echo sequence, repetition time (TR) = 2000 ms, echo time (TE) = 30ms, flip angle = 90, field of view (FOV) = 240 mm, voxel size = 3x3mm with 33 slices of 3.5 mm. A total of 150 volumes were acquired during a 5-min scan. Participants were instructed to keep their eyes closed without falling asleep or thinking of anything in particular during scanning. A sagittal T1-weighted gradient-echo sequence (MPRAGE: 172 contiguous slice, 1 mm3 voxel, TR = 7.5 ms, TE = 3.5ms, FOV = 210 mm) was acquired for brain segmentation and functional image registration. Head movements during scanning were minimized by cushioning the participant’s head in the coil; all subjects were monitored for any movements while in the scanner.

Multimodal MRI Acquisition Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Images were acquired in a Philips Achieva 3T scanner (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) using an 8-channel SENSE head coil. The MP-RAGE and the DTI sequence were acquired during the same scanning session. No single group was scanned on a schedule or time different than the other groups, thereby avoiding bias related to temporally dependent scanner calibration. The MP-RAGE volume was collected in sagittal orientation with in-plane resolution of 256 × 256 and 1 mm slice thickness (isotropic voxels of 1 mm3; TR = 650 ms, TE = 3.2 ms, FOV 256 mm, flip angle 8°, SENSE factor = 1).
The diffusion data were acquired using a single-shot spin-echo EPI pulse sequence (TE = 90 ms, TR = 8609 ms, SENSE factor = 2.5, 5 min acquisition) with 32 diffusion weighted (b-factor = 850 s/mm2, anterior–posterior fold-over direction) and three non-diffusion volumes (b-factor = 0 s/mm2; averaged in scanner to a single B0 volume). Each volume contained 66 slices (thickness = 2 mm, gap = 0 mm) acquired in the axial plane, with a reconstructed matrix size of 128 × 128 and FOV 230 mm, resulting in voxel size 1.8 × 1.8 × 2 mm. Fat suppression was achieved using a standard SPIR (spectral pre-saturation with inversion recovery) technique. The sequence was repeated twice for each subject and the datasets were averaged to increase signal to noise ratio.
