CuBIDS: Curation of BIDS

About

CuBIDS (Curation of BIDS) is a workflow and software package designed to facilitate reproducible curation of neuroimaging BIDS datasets. CuBIDS breaks down BIDS dataset curation into four main components and addresses each one using various command line programs complete with version control capabilities. These components are not necessarily linear but all are critical in the process of preparing BIDS data for successful preprocessing and analysis pipeline runs.

1. CuBIDS facilitates the validation of BIDS data.
2. CuBIDS visualizes and summarizes the heterogeneity in a BIDS dataset.
3. CuBIDS helps users test pipelines on the entire parameter space of a BIDS dataset.
4. CuBIDS allows users to perform metadata-based quality control on their BIDS data.
5. CuBIDS helps users clean protected information in BIDS datasets, in order to prepare them for public sharing.
