[FUN_Mail] looking for neuroscience related datasets for stats class

[William Grisham]

Howdy,

The link below will lead to a data set of brain structure volumes that were
machine segmented and measured. Data are from a pediatric data set. HC =
healthy controls, SS = schizophrenics, BPwpsy = bipolar w psychosis,
BPwopsy = bipolar without psychosis.
