bidseditor - Man Page

Synopsis

bidseditor [-h] [-b NAME] [-t NAME] bidsfolder

Description

This application launches a graphical user interface for editing the bidsmap that is produced by the bidsmapper. You can edit the BIDS data types and entities until all run-items have a meaningful and nicely readable BIDS output name. The (saved) bidsmap.yaml output file will be used by the bidscoiner to do the conversion of the source data to BIDS.

You can hoover with your mouse over items to get help text (pop-up tooltips).

bidsfolder

The destination folder with the (future) bids data

Options

-b NAME, --bidsmap NAME

The study bidsmap file with the mapping heuristics. If the bidsmap filename is just the base name (i.e. no "/" in the name) then it is assumed to be located in the current directory or in bidsfolder/code/bidscoin. Default: bidsmap.yaml

-t NAME, --template NAME

The template bidsmap file with the default heuristics (this could be provided by your institute). If the bidsmap filename is just the base name (i.e. no "/" in the name) then it is assumed to be located in the bidscoin config folder. Default: bidsmap_dccn
