[FieldTrip] BIDS data format survey

[Anne Urai]

Dear FieldTrippers,

Recently, a number of people have been working on developing a common data
standard for MEG called BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure).

They are now requesting community feedback, so please have a look at the
brief survey here and help them out: https://t.co/BjAFmR7yhN

*Magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies produce enormous amounts of data that
need to be stored, organized and analyzed. However, naming conventions and
metadata are often incomplete or inexistent, which is an impediment to the
transfer of scientific data and knowledge, the reproducibility of research
results, and the curation of large data repositories with entries from
heterogenous origins. *


*Building on recent efforts from the MRI community, MEG-BIDS is a
proposition to standardize the arrangement of data structures in
MEG. Please refer to the MEG-BIDS manuscript and to the MEG-BIDS detailed
specifications for all details concerning the proposed structure:- MEG-BIDS

*We wish to survey the MEG community on its present needs with respect to
data management, and design the MEG-BIDS standard to best respond to these
presently unmet needs.*

*Your participation is truly appreciated.*
