The developing human connectome project (dHCP) aspires to get multi-shell diffusion data with comparable resolution, high SNR and high spherical coverage than the human connectome project in 1000 infants in natural sleep. The developed sequence combines a modified pulses gradient diffusion preparation that minimizes echo time and an optimized interleaved distribution of sensitization directions and phase encoding directions in one single self-calibrating scan to optimize efficiency and produce information rich data that is tolerant of signal loss due to sporadic movements, which is a common pattern in neonates.
