Superior signal-to-noise ratio, enhanced and novel forms of contrast, and improved spectral resolution made possible by 7 Tesla (7 T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer great promise for both neuroimaging research and clinical practice. To characterize these gains, it is essential to acquire structural, functional, and biochemical 7 T MRI data from a large sample of adults. The Champaign Urbana Population Study (CUPS) will collect and publish a database of 7 T MRI data, including raw MRI data, from a cohort of up to 200 adults. Here, we describe the study design and provide example images from the initial round of data collection for CUPS.
