BALSA Neuroimaging Database is one of 10 APIs that [Washington University in St. Louis](https://apis.io/providers/washington-university-in-st-louis/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Neuroimaging, Research Data, Human Connectome Project, Gated, and Research Computing. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes authentication docs.

A WashU-operated database of neuroimaging scenes and datasets at balsa.wustl.edu, and now the destination of db.humanconnectome.org, which CNAMEs to proxy.nrg.wustl.edu and redirects here — the Human Connectome Project's ConnectomeDB front door resolving into WashU's own Neuroinformatics Research Group infrastructure. /api and /study both return 302 to /login/auth, so the surface is authenticated and no contract is saved. Recorded because the operator is unambiguously the institution and the redirect is itself a useful fact about where HCP data access now lands.
