BIDS

A brain imaging center operating an MRI scanner for multiple research labs. The center collects DICOMs with ReproIn conventions, captures stimuli with ReproStim and behavioral events with CurDes BIRCH, runs weekly phantom QA to monitor scanner health, records environmental conditions, and provides streamlined preprocessing via HPC. Data flows from a single scanner to many labs, each with their own vault, while the center maintains its own operational datasets.

A neuroimaging research lab doing MRI experiments with ReproIn-convention DICOMs, ReproStim stimulus capture, CurDes BIRCH behavioral events, Slack for communication, Google Calendar for scheduling, and GitHub for processing code. Data flows through HeuDiConv into BIDS, then MRIQC and fMRIPrep for preprocessing, with results published to OpenNeuro or DANDI.

An initiative providing open infrastructure for collaborative annotation of stimuli used in neuroscience research. Uses git branches as stackable annotation layers, BIDS/HED standards for interoperability, and AI-accelerated annotation generation with human refinement. Directly relevant to ReproStim-captured audio/video stimuli and generalizable to any experiment with media needing temporal annotation.
