Who Can Obtain Access?

Anyone with a scientific use case can request access. The resource is divided into different zones, and the access request should mention the zones of interest. Lower zones have a strict vetting process and require a detailed statement.

  • Zone 1: Contains raw data collected. Access requests to this are not possible.
  • Zone 2: Contains pre-release data. Comes with compute resources to perform local analysis via access to the server that hosts the data.
  • Zone 3: Contains anonymized and stable release.
  • Zone 4: Contains the resource index and is openly accessible. You can try it out here.

All CALM-Brain data use is governed by these data use terms.
