Situation is particularly tricky because major granting agencies (e.g. NIH, NSF, RCUK) nowadays require public data sharing, but do not provide explicit instructions on how.

+De-identification
+-----------------
Following the OBC, data must be de-identified before distribution. However, it has become clear that one can single out subjects from biomedical data and/or MRI scans (including fMRI profiles from connectivity). This means that changes to the data (removing ID and defacing) is only a pseudo-anonymization procedure and according to GDPR, that procedure leaves the data as 'personal' (as opposed to 'anonymized').
