Title: BIDS-ephys: let's BIDSify your animal electrophysiology data

Project lead and collaborators: Sylvain Takerkart & Julia Sprenger (coordinators of the BIDS-extension proposal for animal electrophysiology) Other members of the INCF working group on Neuroscience Data Structure

Description:

We are working on an extension proposal so that BIDS (a standardized data structure described here: https://bids.neuroimaging.io/ ) can support electrophysiological data recorded in animal models. Our working document that describes the data organization for animal ephys data is available here: https://bids.neuroimaging.io/bep032 . It is now ready to be used, and we propose here that electrophysiologists can attempt applying this organization to their data, with the help of the community.

Goals for Brainhack Marseille

• Have as many electrophysiologists as possible convert their data to the proposed BIDS-ephys organization.
• Identify potential problems in the specifications, solve them.
• Make progress on the tools required to facilitate this conversion (some of them being present in https://github.com/INT-NIT/AnDO/)

Skills: Different types of people and skills will be useful:

• [non-coding] eletrophysiologists to bring expertise on their data and its description (i.e: just bring your data and we'll work on it together!!!)
• [non-coding] BIDS enthusiasts (or experts) to make progress on the specification document
• [coding] python programmers to make progress on the tools

Dear @SylvainTakerkart, we added your project on the BHM2021 website. :tada: Please check if all the information are correct, and tell us if you would like to change something. Ruggero

@StanSStanman thanks!

I would just like to change the end, which starts by "This is a python project", coz this will scare potential participants... Can you replace with the following please?

"This is a project where coding is not required. If you know or have electrophysiology data recorded in animal models, come over and tell us about it!!!! Some other project participants might do some coding, in python"

@JuliaSprenger do you have comments / wishes?

[JuliaSprenger]

Hi @StanSStanman, thanks for integrating the project on the website. My only comment would be that there is a ) missing at the end of the text. Everything else reads nicely.

Hi have another comment regarding the global timeline. I don't think its clear that the first hacking and Python intro session will be held in parallel from the way they are listed in the table. Maybe it would be better to make two separate rows for the events and explicitly label them as track 1 and track 2 or parallel session 1 and parallel session 2?

Hi @SylvainTakerkart and @JuliaSprenger All the modification that you suggested are now online!

See ya! :cowboy_hat_face:
