ADNI data is made available to researchers around the world. As such, there are many active research projects accessing and applying the shared ADNI data. To further encourage Alzheimer’s disease research collaboration, and to help prevent duplicate efforts, the list below shows the specific research focus of the active ADNI investigations. This information is requested annually as a requirement for data access.

| Proposed Analysis: | Dear Committee, We would like to include the ADNI data into the applicant's PhD project, which is focused on the computer-assisted diagnosis and risk assessment in dementia. The study will be performed in a close collaboration with Karolinska Institutet (Sweden), under the supervision given by Dag Aarsland MD PhD, who is research director at Centre for Age-Related Medicine (Stavanger University Hospital, Norway) and Professor of Clinical Dementia Research (Alzheimer's Disease Research Centre, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden). The group members are experienced in dementia research, multimodal neuroimaging and multivariate data analysis. We are planning to implement several preprocessing pipelines using Freesurfer (for structural data) and SPM8, FSFAST (for PET). The primary aim is to apply relatively novel classification algorithm, which has been shown to be effective and robust in classifying AD versus DLB patients from two independent cohorts in the manuscript, which is currently under review. Therefore, we would like to investigate its efficacy on the well-known and well-established ADNI dataset. |
