title: 'The Brain Imaging Data Structure: a protocol for standardizing and describing
outputs of neuroimaging experiments'
description: The development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques has defined
modern neuroimaging. 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.
