Intro

BIDS is a standard specification for neuroimaging/physiology data. This currently includes at least: MRI, fMRI, DTI, EEG, MEG, fNIRS (and possibly ECOG/sEEG). BIDS typically describes how RAW data is organized - and processed data is located in the bids_dir/derivatives/{AnalysisPackage}/{SUBJECT}/... The main advantage is that common code can be generated to process data organized in a standard format. Therefore, you should be able to import the bids data into any number of neurophysiological packages (MNE, Brainstorm, SPM, Fieldtrip, ...). Additionally, standardized processing packages known as BIDS apps can be used to process the data in the same way as long as the data is organized in BIDS.

MNE Bids

MNE bids is a python tool to make and access neurophysiological data. This tool is a branch of the MNE tools for neurophysiological analysis.

Processing

All processing is defined in the config.py file. This has hundreds of options to define the processing.

 Here are some of the typical options:  https://mne.tools/mne-bids-pipeline/settings/general.html

Here is the full list of options:

Example Config (copy into a config.py text file and use)

Modify for use with your data - at a minimum: bids_root, conditions

 study_name = 'TESTSTudy'
 bids_root = 'YOUR_BIDS_DIR' #<< Modify
 l_freq = 1.0
 h_freq = 100.
 epochs_tmin = -0.1
 epochs_tmax = 0.2
 baseline = (-0.1, 0.0)
 resample = 300.0
 ch_types = ['meg']
 conditions = ['stim']  #<< list of conditions
 
 N_JOBS=4

Use on biowulf

Start interactive session with scratch to render visualization offscreen

 sinteractive --mem=6G --cpus-per-task=4 --gres=lscratch:50

Create BIDS data from data off the scanner

 module load mne_scripts
 make_meg_bids.py -meg_input_dir MEGFOLDER -mri_brik AFNI_COREGED+orig.BRIK

Process data using MNE Bids Pipeline

 module purge 
 module load mne_bids_pipeline
 mne-bids-pipeline-run.py --config=CONFIG.py  ##Optional --steps=preprocessing,source  --subject=SUBJECTID(without sub-)

TEST DATA for biowulf

Start Interactive Session

 sinteractive --mem=6G --cpus-per-task=4 --gres=lscratch:50

Copy and untar the data into your folder

 cp -R /vf/users/MEGmodules/modules/bids_example_data_airpuff.tar ./
 tar -xvf bids_example_data_airpuff.tar
 
 #Add the bids_root to your config file
 echo bids_root=$(pwd)/bids_example_data_airpuff >> $(pwd)/bids_example_data_airpuff/config.py

Load module and process the data

 module load mne_bids_pipeline
 mne_bids_pipeline --config=$(pwd)/bids_example_data_airpuff/config.py
 #In another terminal download your results from biowulf
 scp ${USERNAME}@helix.nih.gov:${YOUR_FOLDER_PATH}/bids_example_data_airpuff/derivatives/mne_bids_python/.....html  ./
