We describe a method for creating a group template of the developing brain using advanced multi-shell high angular resolution diffusion (HARDI) data. We decompose the signal into an anisotropic CSF-like and a white matter-like directional component and build an unbiased template of those tissue types from 27 healthy term control babies acquired as part of the Developing Human Connectome Project (gestational age: 40.2+-1.4 weeks). This template will facilitate the analysis of microstructural features at a group level and allow longitudinal investigations into healthy and pathological brain maturation.
