Dear colleagues,
The NeuroJSON team has developed a new tool – AutoBIDSify – a large-language-model-(LLM)-empowered neuroimaging data standardization framework that integrates semantic reasoning with rule-based execution to convert heterogeneous neuroimaging files into BIDS datasets.
Using a single command with Auto-BIDSify, pme can automatically extract relevant experimental information from diverse data files, populate BIDS metadata files, and convert/reorganize user data files into BIDS-compatible datasets, making them readily available for dissemination to data sharing portals, such as OpenNeuro.org and NeuroJSON.io
To help users adopt this streamlined data standardization tool, we are excited to announce a free online training workshop on March 26 (in 3 weeks) at 11 AM – 1 PM EST (5PM-7PM CET) for the training workshop, followed by a 2-hour individually guided hands-on session (hackathon) to help you convert your own datasets between 1:30 – 3:30 PM EST (7:30PM-9:30PM CET).
Please find the details of AutoBIDSify in this web page:
To participate in this workshop+hackathon, please submit a simple registration form - seats are limited, register today!
Currently, AutoBIDSify can automatically handle many fNIRS/MRI related data files, including .snirf/.nirs/.nii/.nii.gz/.mat/.dcm/.json/.txt/.md/.pdf/.docx/.xlsx; it can read, understand and extract many experiment related metadata, and automatically produce the BIDS-required metadata files, including dataset_description.json, participants.tsv etc. With a single command, it can perform end-to-end conversion/reorganization of the input data files, regardless how they are named and organized, into BIDS-compliant dataset packages.
For the Hackathon part, if you don’t have your own datasets, you can still participate - we will provide a list of publicly available non-BIDS datasets, you can pick one and help us convert it to BIDS and NeuroJSON/JSON format. Regardless whether it is your lab dataset or public fNIRS/DOT datasets, if you are willing to contribute your converted dataset to our NeuroJSON.io data portal, we will offer a small gift as either a NeuroJSON T-shirt or baseball cap. We will mail it to you after the hackathon!
We look forward to seeing you in our workshop and hackathon in 3 weeks!
