Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)

Motivation

Neuroimaging experiments result in complicated data that can be arranged in many different ways. So far there is no consensus how to organize and share data obtained in neuroimaging experiments.

Databases such as OpenNeuro.org accept datasets organised according to BIDS

Inspired by OpenfMRI repository and supported by the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF)
