           A number of recently proposed methods make use of data 
						acquired using multi-shell HARDI, characterised by the 
						number of b-values used, their actual values, and the 
						number of DW directions acquired per b-value shell. To 
						date, these schemes have been optimised with respect to 
						a particular reconstruction algorithm, with no guarantee 
						of suitability for other methods. In this study, we 
						present a data-driven approach to optimise these 
						protocols, and apply it to design a multi-shell scheme 
						suitable for use in neonatal imaging.
