Overview

About

Maintained by Renzo Caceres RossiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Offers a rich and diverse collection of datasets focused on the brain, nervous system, and related disorders. The package includes clinical, experimental, neuroimaging, behavioral, cognitive, and simulated data on conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, epilepsy, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, Tourette's syndrome, traumatic brain injury, gliomas, migraines, headaches, sleep disorders, concussions, encephalitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and mental health conditions. Datasets cover structural and functional brain data, cross-sectional and longitudinal MRI imaging studies, neurotransmission, gene expression, cognitive performance, intelligence metrics, sleep deprivation effects, treatment outcomes, brain-body relationships across species, neurological injury patterns, and acupuncture interventions. Data sources include peer-reviewed studies, clinical trials, military health records, sports injury databases, and international comparative studies. Designed for researchers, neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, data scientists, and students, this package facilitates exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling, and hypothesis testing in neuroscience and neuroepidemiology. The package includes datasets originally distributed in other R packages as well as open data repositories such as Kaggle. Original package authors and contributors are acknowledged in Authors@R. All datasets—including those from R source packages and Kaggle, along with their respective authors and licensing terms—are fully documented in the 'LICENSES_DETAILS' file.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("NeuroDataSets", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("lightbluetitan/neurodatasets")

Development version from lightbluetitan/neurodatasets. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-neurodatasets

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-NeuroDataSets

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-NeuroDataSets

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
