🧠 HBN openly shares de-identified data with investigators worldwide to accelerate discoveries, including phenotypic, MRI, EEG, and eye-tracking data from children and adolescents.

🤝 HBN uses a community-referred recruitment model by encouraging participation of families who have concerns about mental health or learning in their children and by offering no-cost diagnostic evaluations. We thank all the families that have participated in the HBN study since 2015!

💡 @childmindinstitute.bsky.social focuses on enhancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health and learning disorders in children and adolescents.

The Healthy Brain Network (HBN) at the Child Mind Institute is committed to #OpenScience by making all collected phenotypic and neuroimaging data openly available! 🧵
