Since its inception, tens of thousands of studies using techniques such as functional MRI and diffusion weighted imaging have allowed for the non-invasive study of the brain. Despite the fact that MRI is routinely used to obtain data for neuroscience research, there has been no widely adopted standard for organizing and describing the data collected in an imaging experiment. This renders sharing and reusing data (within or between labs) difficult if not impossible and unnecessarily complicates the application of automatic pipelines and quality assurance protocols. To solve this problem, we have developed the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), a standard for organizing and describing MRI datasets. The BIDS standard uses file formats compatible with existing software, unifies the majority of practices already common in the field, and captures the metadata necessary for most common data processing operations. bibo:AcademicArticle pid given_name family_name xyzrins:persons/michael-hanke Michael Hanke pid given_name family_name orcid:0000-0003-3456-2493 Yaroslav Halchenko pid display_label xyzrins:topics/neuroimaging Neuroimaging pid display_label xyzrins:topics/research-data-management Research data management (RDM) pid display_label xyzrins:topics/standards Standards
