Guidelines for clinical electrophysiology research data

[dorahermes]

During the iEEG-BIDS and EEG-BIDS extensions, several issues were raised for storing large medical research electrophysiology datasets. We started a google doc to address some of these questions and incorporate the answers in a set of guidelines in the bids-starter-kit wiki. These guidelines should provide tools and best practices for structuring clinical electrophysiology research data in BIDS.

Clinical electrophysiology research involves machine learning methods and standard processing steps, such as epileptic spike detection, seizure detection, sleep staging, artifact rejection and visualization. These guidelines hope to make sure that there are standard recommendations and tools for medical electrophysiology research data and accompanying metadata that BIDS apps can run on and form a bridge with the medical community.
