Advances in fetal fMRI represent, for the first time, an opportunity for neuroscience to study functional brain connectivity at the time of its emergence [1,2]. The unique challenges of in utero imaging require a community-wide effort to develop tailored methods for image preprocessing and analysis. The progress however has been hampered by the lack of openly available datasets that could be exploited by researchers across disciplines. The dHCP closes this gap by releasing the first open-access and largest-to-date fetal fMRI dataset at https://nda.nih.gov, processed using state-of the art methods.
