LivingPark is a project to improve the generalizability and robustness of MRI-derived biomarkers of Parkinson's Disease through analytical and data variability evaluations. It started in March 2022 and is currently funded by the Michael J Fox Foundation. The first objective of the project is to replicate the following MRI measures of Parkinson's Disease and make them available as Jupyter Notebooks.
We'd love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out by posting an issue in any of our repos, or by email at [email protected]
The following table points to the on-going replication efforts.

To facilitate the development of these notebooks we develop livingpark-utils, a collection of functions to help work with PPMI data. We also develop ppmi-scraper, a set of utilities to download PPMI study and imaging data.
