subject or participant? #12

Open jdkent opened 6 years ago

I should conform the function names and doc strings to use one word or the other. It's typically considered more polite say participants, but bids uses the subject vernacular.

Very important point IMHO. You summarized it perfectly: more polite to say participants but most resources, such as BIDS, use subject. BIDS apps also actually combine it: BIDS structure note "subject" but e.g., the docker command of mriqc notes "participant". So maybe it's still possible to have both. Otherwise I would say adapt to BIDS is easier on the long run.

yeah, I think this issue should be propagated to the bids standard.
