The EU Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Survey (EU LGBT) was conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). It is the first ever EU-wide online survey to establish an overview concerning the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people (18 years or older) and their experiences with regard to fundamental rights in the 28 EU Member States. Up until now, there has been very little comparable data collected across the EU about the everyday experiences of LGBT people with respect to discrimination, and lot of the available information is limited to occasional news reports and court judgements. As the first EU-wide survey of its kind, the results support the development of equal treatment policies for LGBT people in the European Union and set the agenda for years to come. Based on the survey results, national and European policy makers, as well as non-governmental organisations, are able to better target their advocacy strategies and activities to support LGBT communities to live and express themselves freely in a non-discriminatory environment. The survey was completely anonymous (no additional data on the participants and their sessions were logged in any way). The survey data collection operated by Gallup Europe, a professional survey and consultancy firm. In order to ensure that the survey delivers evidence needed for policy making, the EU LGBT Survey counted on the participation of a large and diverse group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people from each country. Hence, it was vitally important for the success of the survey that FRA and Gallup worked together with civil society organisations to reach a wide audience and raise awareness concerning the survey, including participants emailing the survey, sharing it through social media or simply inviting LGBT friends to take part. More information can be found on the FRA website The data represents a self-selected sample and not a random sample.

The database "Dutch Atlantic connections" gives information on 7666 journeys made by Dutch ships in the 17th and 18th centuries. These include ships of the Dutch West India Company, Dutch naval ships returning from the Caribbean, interlopers illegally operating in WIC monopoly territory, private traders sailing to the Caribbean, Africa, Surinam and New Netherland. Most journeys are standard trading ventures, but there are some notable journeys, including Henry Hudson’s journey to North America.This is an integrated database containing data from earlier created datasets of the historians prof. dr. H. J. den Heijer, dr. W.W. Klooster, dr. R. Paesie, dr. J. Postma, dr. C. Reinders Folmer – van Prooijen and dr. J. Jacobs. The database contains also a limited number of data from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database.The goal of this database is to provide a platform into which information on Dutch Atlantic trade may be integrated. It is hoped that the number of almost 8000 journeys in the database may be expanded with further research.

The Transdiagnostic Connectome Project

A richly phenotyped transdiagnostic dataset with behavioral and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data from 241 individuals aged 18 to 70, comprising 148 individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for a broad range of psychiatric illnesses and a healthy comparison group of 93 individuals.

These data include high-resolution anatomical scans and 6 x resting-state, and 3 x task-based (2 x Stroop, 1 x Faces/Shapes) functional MRI runs. Participants completed over 50 psychological and cognitive questionnaires, as well as a semi-structured clinical interview.

Data was collected at the Brain Imaging Center, Yale University, New Haven, CT and McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA. This dataset will allow investigation into brain function and transdiagnostic psychopathology in a community sample. See preprint (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.18.24309054v1) and below for detailed information.

Exclusion criteria

Participants meeting any of the criteria listed below were excluded from the study: * Neurological disorders * Pervasive developmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder) * Any medical condition that increases risk for MRI (e.g., pacemaker, dental braces) * MRI contraindications (e.g., claustrophobia pregnancy)

MRI acquisition parameters

MRI data were acquired at both sites using harmonized Siemens Magnetom 3T Prisma MRI scanners and a 64-channel head coil. T1-weighted (T1-w) anatomical images were acquired using a multi-echo MPRAGE sequence following parameters: acquisition duration of 132 seconds, with a repetition time (TR) of 2.2 seconds, echo times (TE) of 1.5, 3.4, 5.2, and 7.0 milliseconds, a flip angle of 7°, an inversion time (TI) of 1.1 seconds, a sagittal orientation and anterior (A) to posterior (P) phase encoding. The slice thickness was 1.2 millimeters, and 144 slices were acquired. The image resolution was 1.2 mm3. A root mean square of the four images corresponding to each echo was computed to derive a single image. T2-weighted (T2w) anatomical images with the following parameters: TR of 2800 milliseconds, TE of 326 milliseconds, a sagittal orientation, and AP phase encoding direction. The slice thickness was 1.2 millimeters, and 144 slices were acquired. All seven functional MRI runs were acquired with the same parameters matching the HCP protocol6,9, varying only the conditions (rest/task) and separately acquired phase encoding directions (AP/PA). For the resting-state, Stroop task, and Emotional Faces task, a total of 488, 510, and 493 volumes were acquired, respectively, all using the following MRI sequence parameters: TR = 800 milliseconds, TE = 37 milliseconds, flip angle = 52°, and voxel size =2mm3. A multi-band acceleration factor of 8 was applied. An auto-align pulse sequence protocol was used to align the acquisition slices of the functional scans parallel to the anterior. To enable the correction of the distortions in the EPI images, B0-field maps were acquired in both AP and PA directions with a standard Spin Echo sequence. Detailed MRI acquisition protocols for both sites are available in Appendix B. In total, four resting-state (2 AP, 2 PA), 2 Stroop task acquisitions (1 AP [Block 1], 1 PA [Block 2]), and 1 Emotional Faces task acquisition (1 AP) acquisitions were collected. Select participants out of the total sample did not complete each functional neuroimaging run; thus the sample sizes for each run were as follows: resting-state AP run 1, n = 241; resting-state PA run 1, n = 241; resting-state AP run 2, n = 237; resting-state AP run 2, n = 235; Stroop task AP, n = 226; Stroop task PA, n = 224; and Emotional Faces task AP, n = 226.

For the Emotional Faces task, the faces are fear and anger expressing (male and female groups) from the NimStim database. The faces used in each trial are outlines in each events.tsv file.For example, FA1 = female anger stimuli set number 1, or FF1 =female fear stimuli set number 1. Unfortunately, we cannot release the actual images publicly. An important consideration here might be that this task has no neutral control nor positively valenced comparison for faces (i.e., is precisely a negatively valenced face vs non-face/shape version of the task). We will soon update the events.tsv files on OpenNeuro with more informative file names (e.g. female_fear, female_anger, male_fear, male_anger).
