MNE-BIDS
========

This is a repository for creating
`BIDS <https://bids.neuroimaging.io/>`_\ -compatible datasets with
`MNE-Python <https://mne.tools/stable/index.html>`_.

BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) is a standard to organize data
according to a set of rules that describe:

- how to name your files
- where to place your files within a directory structure
- what additional metadata to store, and how to store it in sidecar json and tsv files

The complete set of rules is written down in the
`BIDS specification <https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`_.
A BIDS-compatible dataset conforms to these rules and passes the
`BIDS-validator <https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-validator>`_.

MNE-Python is a software package for analyzing neurophysiology data.

**MNE-BIDS links BIDS and MNE with the goal to make your analyses faster to code,
more robust to errors, and easily shareable with colleagues.**

Documentation
-------------

The documentation can be found under the following links:

- for the `stable release <https://mne.tools/mne-bids/>`_
- for the `latest (development) version <https://mne.tools/mne-bids/dev/index.html>`_

Dependencies
------------

* numpy (>=1.14)
* scipy (>=0.18.1)
* mne (>=0.19.1)
* nibabel (>=2.2, optional)
* pybv (optional)

Installation
------------

We recommend the `Anaconda <https://www.anaconda.com/download/>`_ Python
distribution. We require that you use Python 3.5 or higher.
You may choose to install ``mne-bids``
`via pip <#Installation via pip>`_ or
`via conda <#Installation via conda>`_.

Installation via pip
####################

Besides ``numpy`` and ``scipy`` (which are included in the standard Anaconda
installation), you will need to install the most recent version of ``MNE``
using the ``pip`` tool:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ pip install -U mne


Then install ``mne-bids``\ :

.. code-block:: bash

   $ pip install -U mne-bids


These ``pip`` commands also work if you want to upgrade if a newer version of
``mne-bids`` is available. If you do not have administrator privileges on the
computer, use the ``--user`` flag with ``pip``.

To check if everything worked fine, the following command should not give any
error messages:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ python -c 'import mne_bids'

For full functionality of ``mne-bids``, you will also need to ``pip install``
the following packages:

- ``nibabel``, for interacting with MRI data
- ``pybv``, to convert EEG data to BrainVision if input format is not valid according to EEG BIDS specifications

If you want to use the latest development version of ``mne-bids``, use the
following command:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ pip install https://api.github.com/repos/mne-tools/mne-bids/zipball/master

Installation via conda
######################

If you have followed the
`MNE-Python installation instructions <https://mne.tools/stable/install_mne_python.html#installing-mne-python-and-its-dependencies>`_,
all that's left to do is to install ``mne-bids`` without its dependencies, as
they've already been installed during the ``MNE`` installation process.

Activate the correct ``conda`` environment and install ``mne-bids``:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ conda activate mne
   $ conda install --channel conda-forge --no-deps mne-bids

This approach ensures that the installation of ``mne-bids`` doesn't alter any
other packages in your existing ``conda`` environment.

Alternatively, you may wish to take advantage of the fact that the
``mne-bids`` package on ``conda-forge`` in fact depends on ``mne``,
meaning that a "full" installation of ``mne-bids`` (i.e., including its
dependencies) will provide you with a working copy of of both ``mne`` and
``mne-bids`` at once:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ conda create --name mne --channel conda-forge mne-bids

After activating the environment, you should be ready to use ``mne-bids``:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ conda activate mne
   $ python -c 'import mne_bids'


Quickstart
----------

Currently, we support writing of BIDS datasets for MEG and EEG. Support for
iEEG is experimental at the moment.

.. code:: python

    >>> from mne import io
    >>> from mne_bids import write_raw_bids
    >>> raw = io.read_raw_fif('my_old_file.fif')
    >>> write_raw_bids(raw, 'sub-01_ses-01_run-05', bids_root='./bids_dataset')

Command Line Interface
----------------------

In addition to ``import mne_bids``, you can use the command line interface.
Simply type ``mne_bids`` in your command line and press enter, to see the
accepted commands. Then type ``mne_bids <command> --help``, where ``<command>``
is one of the accepted commands, to get more information about that
``<command>``.

Example:

.. code-block:: bash

  $ mne_bids raw_to_bids --subject_id sub01 --task rest --raw data.edf --bids_root new_path
