The MGH/Harvard/UCLA project you cited is the smaller, more focused $8 million project. The WU/Minn consortium (www.humanconnectome.org) is the larger $30 million project that is scanning a target number of 1,200 subjects. In future, please provide links to both projects, or the link to the MIH cite for both projects: http://www.neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/connectome/.
