bids-neuroimaging

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you organize and validate EEG/fMRI neuroimaging data into the BIDS 1.8 standard, then query it reliably for downstream analysis and sharing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• BIDS-compliant dataset creation: Generate required root files such as dataset_description.json and participants.tsv, then write properly named BIDS directory structures.
• Conversion and sidecar generation: Convert MNE objects to BIDS using mne-bids, automatically producing events.tsv and JSON sidecars (including channels.tsv).
• Dataset QA and discovery: Validate with bids-validator and query the indexed dataset with pybids (BIDSLayout) to filter by subject/session/task/run/modality.
• Shareable research workflows: Manage OpenNeuro downloads and derivatives organization via datalad, including a derivatives dataset_description.json workflow.

Quick Start

Use the bids-neuroimaging skill to convert your EEG/MEG/fMRI raw data into a BIDS 1.8 folder, write events.tsv and sidecar metadata, validate the result, and query it with pybids.
