Connectome skyra
The Connectome Skyra is a high-performance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for advanced neuroimaging research. It features a powerful magnetic field strength, enabling detailed visualization and analysis of the brain's intricate connections, known as the connectome. The Connectome Skyra provides researchers with the necessary tools to study the complex neural networks and their functions.

Functional MRI Data Acquisition Protocol
Multimodal MRI Neuroimaging Protocol
MRI data from a separate cohort of TBI patients and healthy control subjects, were acquired using a 3 T Siemens Magnetom Verio Syngo with a 32-channel head coil. Standard clinical MRI was collected. Resting-state functional MRI data were also acquired, alongside a high-resolution T1-weighted image and DTI (see
Resting-state fMRI Acquisition and Analysis
Diffusion MRI Acquisition Protocol for HCP
A full diffusion MRI session includes six runs (each ~9 min and 50 s), representing three different gradient tables, with each table acquired once with right‐to‐left and left‐to‐right phase encoding polarities, respectively. Each gradient table includes ~90 diffusion weighting directions plus 6 b = 0 acquisitions distributed throughout each run. Diffusion weighting consisted of 3 shells of b = 1,000, 2000, and 3,000 s/mm2 interspersed with an approximately equal number of acquisitions on each shell within each run (Sequence: Spin‐echo EPI, TR 5520 ms, TE 89,5 ms, flip angle 78 deg, refocusing flip angle 160 deg, FOV 210 × 180 (RO × PE), matrix 168 × 144 (RO × PE), slice thickness 1.255 mm, 111 slices, 1.25 mm isotropic voxels, multiband factor 3, echo spacing 0.78 ms, BW 1488 Hz/Px, phase partial fourier 6/8, b‐values 1,000, 2000, 3,000 s/mm2).

HCP Resting-State fMRI Protocol
The HCP resting‐state fMRI time series were acquired using 3T Siemens “Connectome Skyra” scanner with 2 × 2 × 2 mm spatial resolution and a TR of approximately 0.7 s. For more details of the data acquisition parameters, see Smith et al. (2013 (link)) and Uğurbil et al. (2013 (link)).
All data were pre‐processed using the HCP minimal processing pipeline (Glasser et al., 2013 (link)), including structural registration, correction for spatial distortion, head motion, cortical surface mapping, and functional artifact removal (Glasser et al., 2013 (link); Smith et al., 2013 (link)). For each rs‐fMRI run, this resulted in 1200 time points for each of the 32k vertices of the standard fsLR‐32K template (van Essen et al., 2012 (link)) per hemisphere. To generate the functional profiles for the HCP data set, we concatenated all four runs after mean‐centering.
Highly Detailed MRI Acquisition Protocol
A 3D T1‐weighted Magnetization‐Prepared Rapid Acquisition with Gradient Echo (MPRAGE) sequence was acquired with the following parameters: sagittal acquisition with FOV = 224 × 224 × 180 mm; voxel size = 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7 mm3; repetition time = 2,400 ms; echo time = 2.14 ms; inversion time = 1,000 ms; band width = 210 Hz/pixel; flip angle = 8°; GeneRalized Autocalibrating Partial Parallel Acquisition (GRAPPA) factor = 2; and total acquisition time = 7 min 40 s.
A 3D T2‐weighted Sampling Perfection with Application‐optimized Contrasts using different flip angle Evolution (SPACE) sequences was acquired with the following parameters: sagittal acquisition with field of view = 224 × 224 × 180 mm; voxel size = 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7 mm3; repetition time = 3,200 ms; echo time = 565 ms; echo spacing = 3.53 ms; turbo factor = 314; echo train duration = 1,105 ms; band width = 744 Hz/pixel; variable flip angle; GRAPPA factor = 2; and total acquisition time = 8 min 24 s.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
