Courtois Project on Neuronal Modelling

Meet us at @cogcompneuro.bsky.social in Amsterdam! The team will be there, including @jaboyle.bsky.social (project lead), Basile Pinsard (data manager), and @lune-bellec.bsky.social (founder). #CCN2025

The result? Nearly 1000 hours of task fMRI from 6 subjects (mostly 5). We're releasing experiments slowly, focusing on quality checks and well-documented derivatives for reuse. 5/6 participants made their data fully open (CC0), thanks to @conp-pcno.bsky.social

Poster titled "Neuromod: The Courtois Project on Neuronal Modelling" with logos from Université de Montréal and the Centre de recherche de l'Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal. Large bold text reads: 6 BRAINS – 987H-fMRI – 18 TASKS Followed by the subtitle: Naturalistic & Controlled – Multimodal / Perception + Action Each letter in "18 TASKS" contains thumbnails from various visual tasks. The central table summarizes 32 datasets grouped by primary domain (Vision, Audition, Language, Memory, Action, Other). For each dataset, the table indicates which stimulus modalities were used (Vision, Speech, Audio, Motion), what responses were collected (Physiology, Eye tracking, Explanations, Actions), and how many sessions and subjects were scanned. The overall visual style is playful and bold, with rainbow colors for modality types and rich iconography indicating data types.

In 2019, the CNeuroMod team and 6 participants began a massive data collection journey: twice-weekly MRI scans for most of 5 years. Data collection is now complete! 1/🧵

Pair it with ∼75 h of video-watching fMRI per subject used in the 2025 @algonautsproject.bsky.social competition for a one-two controlled-naturalistic punch in modelling individual human vision. Huge thanks: THINGS Initiative, Courtois Foundation, our dedicated participants, and the CNeuroMod crew.
