## Documentation



Documentation related to BIDS.



- The central [BIDS website](http://www.bids-standard.org/) to get general information about BIDS.

- The [BIDS Starter Kit](https://bids-standard.github.io/bids-starter-kit/)

  is the best place to get started with BIDS.

- The official [BIDS Specification](https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io) to get into the details.

- The [BIDS youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxZUcYfd_nvIVWAbzRB1tlw)

  where we try to curate [playlists](https://www.youtube.com/@brainimagingdatastructure6721/playlists) of BIDS related videos.

- Slides of many BIDS related presentations are available on the [Open Science Framework](https://osf.io/yn93h/).

- The [FieldTrip](https://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/example/bids/) websites contains

  many BIDS  tips and  examples, mainly for MEG, EEG, fNIRS, etc.

- If you help to mention BIDS in one of your grant,

  make sure that to check out the [BIDS grant writing kit](https://github.com/bids-standard/grant_writing_kit#bids-grant-writing-kit).



## Community



- The [Neurostars discourse forum](https://neurostars.org/tag/bids)

  run by the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility ([INCF](https://www.incf.org/))

  with its own [BIDS category](https://neurostars.org/tag/bids).

  With a lot BIDS users and developers,

  it is the best place where to ask BIDS related questions.



- [BIDS mailing list](https://groups.google.com/g/bids-discussion):

  a google group for announcements and discussions around BIDS.



- [BIDS in the Brainhack mattersmost](https://mattermost.brainhack.org/brainhack/channels/bids_general):

  [mattermost](https://mattermost.com/) is the open source equivalent of slack

  and the [Brainhack](https://brainhack.org/) instance has over 5000 members

  with its own channel dedicated BIDS channel.



## Social media



Here are the official BIDS account on several social media.



- [Twitter / X](https://twitter.com/BIDSstandard)

- [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@bidsstandard/)

- [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/bidsstandard.bsky.social)

## Datasets



- The [BIDS examples](https://bids-standard.github.io/bids-examples/) repository hosts dataset of each modality

  with empty raw data files. These datasets can be useful to:

  - serve as an example on how a BIDS dataset can be structured

  - write lightweight software tests

- [OpenNeuro](https://openneuro.org/) host more than 1000 open BIDS datasets of all datatypes.



## Converters



Tools for converting data to/from BIDS from other standard or custom formats and layouts.



### MRI

-   [BIDScoin](https://bidscoin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/): BIDScoin is a flexible tool to convert (“coin”) source-level (raw) neuroimaging data sets to BIDS without needing to code anything. It features automatic data discovery based on header as well as filesystem information, and comes with a user-friendly GUI to add missing information and tweak the results. BIDScoin supports multiple source data formats with plugins (e.g. employing dcm2niix, spec2nii or nibabel) and allows customization of the prior knowledge about your data (allowing for fully automatic CLI data conversion if you like).

## BIDS Extension Proposals (BEP)



Ongoing community proposals for extending the BIDS specification to new datatypes ([raw](#raw)),

to specify how to organized processed data ([derivatives](#derivatives)),

or interoperating with BIDS datasets.



Make sure to check the list to see if some people are not already working

on making sure BIDS supports your favorite datatype.



If you are working on an extension proposal

make sure to check our [documentation regarding the BIDS extension proposal process](https://bids-extensions.readthedocs.io/).
