The set of QC evaluations for each subject (Group 0 = sub-001, sub-002, …; Group 1 = sub-101, sub-102, …; etc.), by each participating analysis team (see Table 2 for each column label, A–J). Group 0 contained task-based FMRI, and Groups 1–7 contained resting state FMRI. Groups within the data collection contained a range of data quality, from reasonable to poor. A large number of subjects were given evaluations of exclude or uncertain, showing the need for QC in FMRI studies. There is also variation among team evaluations, which was expected due to their different treatments of subject motion, signal coverage, and other focal features. This is discussed below in the Results.
