Contact

BIDS has lots of different ways of staying in touch! We prefer public-facing communications on the INCF Neurostars community forum or GitHub repositories first. Though there are still several other direct methods of communication.

We understand that posting a question on a forum can seem a bit uncertain and intimidating. However, if you have a question it's almost certain that somebody else will too, and this way we can avoid answering the same question multiple times. Even if your question is not well-defined, just post what you have so far and we will be able to point you in the right direction!

Some example questions that have already been answered include:

• BIDS file naming specifications
• BIDS beginner - convert data to BIDS format
