Software highlight: HED tools

[sanjayankur31]

HED (Hierarchical Event Descriptors) is a framework for systematically describing both laboratory and real-world events. HED tags are comma-separated path strings. The goal of HED is to describe precisely the nature of the events of interest occurring in an experiment using a common structured vocabulary and standardized tools. The HED framework has been developed for neurological imaging data (e.g., EEG, MEG, iEEG, fMRI), physiological (e.g., ECG, EMG, GSR) as well as multimodal experiment (e.g., mobile brain/body imaging). HED has been adopted as part of the BIDS (http://bids.neuroimaging.io/) standard for brain imaging.

Zoom recordings are here: https://ucl.zoom.us/rec/share/h-tszrMXevUhADQHl9CGwgP08ofJ77vmvFchUjrGZunm6MZB4F1txnUvuIXPAU2l.EiVd5lEKg7r-bh2M

Forwarding them to the INCF now.

Note: I'd set up the zoom call to not require a zoom account this time and we ended up getting two quite annoying spammers almost immediately after I shared the link on social media. So, going forward, we're going to require some filtering---I can add the speaker as a co-host and limit anyone else from sharing their video/audio, but that means we can't have a good discussion at the end. So, I'd just prefer requiring folks to have a zoom account to attend. People that don't want to do this can watch the recordings once they're on Youtube (where they probably also need an account).
