Brain Imaging Data Structure

<p>The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)  is a standard for organizing, annotating, and describing data collected during <a href="/facts/Neuroimaging/dA5Cteaf">neuroimaging</a> experiments. It is based on a formalized file and directory structure and metadata files (based on <a href="/facts/JSON/bs1rUAhd">JSON</a> and <a href="/facts/Tab-separated_values/TRyPhWXD">TSV</a>) with <a href="/facts/Controlled_vocabulary/JcYKWx3H">controlled vocabulary</a>. 
This standard has been adopted by a multitude of labs around the world as well as databases such as <a href="/facts/OpenNeuro/LMFdvXI9">OpenNeuro</a>, SchizConnect, Developing Human Connectome Project, and FCP-INDI, and is seeing uptake in an increasing number of studies.
</p><p>While originally specified for <a href="/facts/Magnetic_resonance_imaging/Vh9yG9qq">MRI</a> data, BIDS has been extended to several other imaging modalities such as <a href="/facts/Magnetoencephalography/epvUfx7A">MEG</a>, <a href="/facts/Electroencephalography/XGvpcBl5">EEG</a>, and <a href="/facts/Electrocorticography/j6EhFgLV">intracranial EEG</a> (see also BIDS Extension Proposals).
