• Theme: Open Data 2.0
• Format: Emergent session

Abstract

The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is a community-led effort to standardize how we organize and describe neuroimaging data. BIDS currently supports magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electrophysiological recordings (MEG, EEG, iEEG), and more recently common principles for describing a derivative (or processed) dataset. Our community is large and spread across disciplines and domains. In our Town Hall we plan to address recent BIDS achievements and updates from our BIDS extension proposal (BEP) working groups. After our announcements, we will open the Town Hall to public comment and questions. Representatives of the BIDS Steering and Maintainers groups will be present to respond to questions. We are eager to discuss the state and future of BIDS as a standard and a community!

@effigies I added a newly created Mattermost channel. If you'd prefer I link to a different communication channel, you're welcome to add the link and I'll update the post above.
