OHBM 2026 Hackathon project: BIDS-layerfMRI
Description
High-resolution layer-fMRI is a rapidly growing field, with more than 350 studies published to date. As the community expands, there is an increasing need for standardized approaches to organize, share, and reuse layer-fMRI datasets. The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) provides a widely adopted framework for standardizing file naming conventions and dataset organization, facilitating data sharing and reproducibility. However, clear guidelines for organizing and sharing both source and processed layer-fMRI data within the BIDS framework are still lacking.
Building on previous efforts initiated by Renzo Huber during a hackathon in 2022, this project aims to help address this gap by:
