Converters

If you are looking for tools to convert your data into BIDS, please see the list of converters on the BIDS website

Python tools

The BIDS format has several tools in the Python ecosystem. These are broadly split into two groups: one for converting and storing data in the BIDS format, and another for analyzing and manipulating pre-existing BIDS datasets.

Converting your data to BIDS

  • mne-bids is a collection of tools for converting magnetoencephalography (MEG) data into BIDS format, as well as some helper functions for creating the folders and metadata needed for a BIDS dataset. Check out their online documentation and the examples gallery to learn how to use this package.

Analyzing your BIDS datasets

  • pybids is a tool for quickly parsing / searching the components of a BIDS dataset. It also contains functionality for running analyses on your data.

MATLAB tools

bids-matlab - functions that allow you to crawl through your BIDS dataset and get info about it
