bids

Organizes, queries, validates, and converts neuroscience and biomedical datasets using the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) standard, covering MRI, PET, EEG, MEG, iEEG, EMG, NIRS, microscopy, motion capture, and behavioral data. Covers PyBIDS (BIDSLayout), the bids-validator, HeuDiConv, dcm2bids, BIDScoin, JSON sidecars, dataset_description.json, events.tsv, participants.tsv, .bidsignore, and derivatives. Use when arranging raw data into BIDS directories and filenames. Use when converting DICOM scans to BIDS. Use when validating a dataset before OpenNeuro or DANDI submission. Use when querying files or sidecar metadata with PyBIDS. Use when writing BIDS derivatives. For extracellular Neuropixels analysis, use neuropixels-analysis instead.
