The Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) is an international consortium of open access neuroimaging data on autism. Established in 2012 with funding from the National Institute of Mental Health , its initial archive comprised 1,112 existing (R-fMRI) data sets on individuals (autistic and scientific control). On average since the project's inception one peer-reviewed paper has been published which cited the exchange's data in ABID-I.
In July 2016 its second release, dubbed "ABIDE-II", doubled the database to 2,200 such individuals. More recently (October 2025) some of the exchange's data has served as a test bed for AI analysis with a view to improving that technology's contribution to clinical practice. In the aggregate 24 international laboratories have contributed to ABIDE.
