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.

Completed 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.
