BIDS-Formatted sMRI + rs-fMRI Dataset of Professional Chess Players

Dataset Card for Hugging Face

DOI BIDS Version License: CC BY 4.0

πŸ“‹ Dataset Description

This is a BIDS-compliant subset of the multimodal MRI dataset originally published in Scientific Data (Li et al., 2015). It contains high-resolution T1-weighted structural MRI (sMRI) and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data from 29 professional Chinese chess players (including multiple Grandmasters and International Masters with an average Elo rating of ~2401).

DTI data, phenotypic spreadsheets, and QA reports have been removed per the repository owner’s instructions. The remaining data have been reorganized into the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) format for maximum compatibility with modern tools (fMRIPrep, MRIQC, Nilearn, etc.).

Chess expertise is an established model for studying long-term brain plasticity, spatial cognition, working memory, planning, and skill acquisition. This dataset enables reproducible research in cognitive neuroscience and machine learning on neuroimaging data.

Key Features

  • Subjects: 29 professional chess players (all right-handed, neurologically healthy adults)
  • Modalities: T1-weighted anatomical + resting-state fMRI (single session ses-01)
  • Total size: 1.1 GB (compressed NIfTI + JSON sidecars)
  • Format: Fully BIDS-compliant with sidecar JSON files containing acquisition metadata
