BIDS extension proposals
You can contribute to ongoing BIDS Extension Proposals (BEPs).
Active BEPs
Below is a table of currently-active BEPs.
Note that all of the extension ideas that are not backwards compatible and thus will have to wait for BIDS 2.0 are listed on the Issues page of the bids-2-devel GitHub repository.

Merged BEPs
When an extension reaches maturity it is merged into the main body of the specification. Below is a table of BEPs that have been merged.
The references of the final publication for those BEPS can be found in the BIDS specification.

Others
Some proposals that set out to extend the BIDS specification have instead lead to other outcomes such as:
- becoming tools for handling BIDS
- having been merged into other BEPs
- having been dropped from consideration
See the table below:
| Extension | Title | Content | Lead(s) | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BEP 013 | Resting state fMRI derivatives | raw | ||
| BEP 015 | Mapping file | raw | ||
