BIDS will be at the OHBM BrainHack in Bordeaux!

We are excited to announce that BIDS will be at this year's BrainHack in Bordeaux, June 11-13!

If you'll be at BrainHack, please get involved! There are a few things planned:

We'd like to group BIDS-related project pitches on the first day. If you're planning on pitching one, you should:

  • Register your project on the BrainHack web page
  • Add one (1) slide to the project pitches section of our slide deck. In order to respect the time of BrainHack attendees, we will limit our pitches to 1 slide and 1 minute each.

We are also going to have TrainTrack sessions on the afternoon/evening of Day 2, June 12. Tentatively, we'll have three afternoon sessions:

Time Title Description
1:30-2:15 Introduction/Getting started with BIDS This will be a presentation put together by the BIDS maintainers and steering groups
2:20-3:05 Getting involved with BIDS The second session will discuss ways of contributing to the BIDS ecosystem, such as writing tutorials, libraries, BIDS Apps or BEPs. There will be a panel discussion where you have opportunity to ask any question you've ever wanted to ask!
3:10-3:55 Hands-on demos / Helpdesk / Q&A The third session will be an opportunity to have break-out sessions where people can demonstrate their tools, and others will be available to help people with general questions or specific problems
5:30-7:00 In-depth engagement or niche topics (e.g., BIDS schema) we intend to keep this relatively unstructured to allow for organic development

For these second and third sessions in particular, we'd love for any community members who will be attending the BrainHack to show up and share their perspectives, experience and tools. We frequently get asked how to convert data to BIDS, so BIDS converter tools are especially encouraged to add slides in the "Hands-on Demos" section.

If you have other ideas or would like to help in planning, please don't hesitate to reach out!
