BIDS working group on BEP process?

BIDS Meeting Notes

BIDS Seattle meeting recap

  • Successful, groups worked on various projects, a lot of progress was made on BIDS 2.0, new contributors joined

  • New work on BEP for animal modeling (BEP 32?)

  • The budget/expense summary has not been finalized yet, Ariel will work on this and report back to the steering group

  • Will establish a sub-contract at copenhagen to transfer the BIDS award money there

    • European meeting to be organized in spring 2025?

BEPs for stimuli and EMG on gitHub

  • What is the official protocol for this?
  • No opposition for the BEP
  • Appears to be an extension of EEG/MEG
  • We are making the decision in support of a BEP number for this work, based on the support from the maintainers

BIDS 2.0

github project [bids-standard/projects/10]

  • Should this get an official BEP?

  • What is the difference between a BEP and a working group? (should this be a working group?)

    • Currently only a single working group for online progress
    • This will be paving new directions/definitions of what a working group is and does
    • Yarik organized the "GitHub Team" BIDS 2.0: [bids-standard/teams/bids-2-0]

  • Would like feedback on projects on github, big issues have been better formalized

  • Yarik will tackle the hierarchy of file names/inheritances

  • Yarik will work on this at the OHBM Brainhack in June 2024, Seoul

  • INCF and SfN abstracts for BIDS 2.0 - please join is you would like to contribute

    • Can we get stickers? They are not allowed at SfN

    • A BIDS 'cheat-sheet' could be distributed as an alternative (1 page print out/flyer) including different modalities in BIDS, ongoing BEPs, and so on.

OHBM

  • What does BIDS have at OHBM?

  • Round Table (this is replacing the previous 'townhall')

    • We need to prepare documentation for this: a slide deck that includes the current state of BEPs
    • Slide deck should focus on large themes (e.g. getting Asai involvement, BIDS 2.0)
    • Will there be a hybrid option? Camille will email Beth Slater

  • Cyril will meet Korean/Asian chapter to discuss how to include Asia in BIDS

  • Can we create BIDS stickers for posters that use BIDS

  • Peer has a poster?

  • Round Table/Town hall should have a hybrid option. This should be prioritized for future OHBM meetings, if its not a possibility for the Round Table, then we should explore moving back to the OSR Round Table so that it can be broadcasted live.

INCF

  • Good opportunity to promote BEP 32

    • Yariks postdoc might submit an abstract for this

  • Neurobagel has a participants .tsv standardization schema - should this be harmonized with BIDS 2.0. It should help improve the participant.tsv file content

Participants.tsv

  • NIDM, and Neurobagel try to harmonize metadata in this file.

  • CP proposes that neurobagel should be doing their harmonization work in tandem / within BIDS.

  • Has been discussed at previous brainhacks.

  • We need a schema to standardize how metadata in this file should be structured.

  • This effort needs to be driven by Neurobagel, HED, and so on (not driven by BIDS efforts).

  • HED is an example of a case where "external" efforts have contributed to BIDS substantially and where the effort goes hand-in-glove with BIDS.

  • YOH formalized above as an issue: [https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-2-devel/issues/74]
