The secure, cloud-based service for the semi-automated mapping of entire sessions of neuroimaging data to the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) standard.
This is the repository for a semi-supervised web-service for converting neuroimaging data files to BIDS. The web service is securely hosted at brainlife.io/ezbids. For additional details on security feaures, please see here.
Unlike other BIDS converters, ezBIDS eliminates the need for coding and command line interfaces (CLI), doing the bulk of the work behind the scenes to save users time. Importantly, ezBIDS does not require an organizational structure for uploaded data.
A series of inferenial heuritics analyze the uploaded data to provide a first guess BIDS structure, which is presented to users through the web-browser user interface. Users verify the first guess and modify the information provided as needed so as to best match the final BIDS structure.
Data from all major scanner vendors are accepted by ezBIDS. ezBIDS enables pseudo-anonymization by providing options for the defacing of anatomical sequences, and removes all identifying metadata information (e.g. PatientName) before final conversion to BIDS.
The BIDS output can then be downloaded back to the user's computer, or uploaded to open repositories such as brainlife.io or OpenNeuro.org.
