Project Description

We are working on an extension proposal so that BIDS (a standardized data structure described here) can support electrophysiological data recorded in animal models. Our working document that describes the data organization for animal ephys data is available here. 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 Global

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 here)

Good first issues

issue one: Tell us about your data and let's discuss how a conversion to animal-ephys BIDS can be implemented

@SylvainTakerkart This is to register our project also with the brainhack global organization. Any changes from your side?

SylvainTakerkart commented 2 years ago

it's all good, thanks @JuliaSprenger !

As the project was already reviewed by the local event organizers there is no need for further review on our side. Will proceed with publication on the website.
