bids-examples
This repository contains a set of BIDS-compatible datasets with empty raw data files. These datasets can be useful to:
- write lightweight software tests
- serve as an example on how a BIDS dataset can be structured
ALL RAW DATA FILES IN THIS REPOSITORY ARE EMPTY!
However for some of the data, the headers containing the metadata are still
intact. (For example the NIfTI headers for .nii files, the BrainVision data
headers for .vhdr files, or the OME-XML headers for .ome.tif files.)
Headers are intact for the following datasets:
synthetic- Most EEG or iEEG data in BrainVision format (e.g.,
eeg_matchingpennies)
Validating BIDS examples
The next three sections mention a few details on how the bids-examples can be
validated using bids-validator.
For general information on the bids-validator, including installation and
usage, see the
bids-validator README file.
Validating individual examples
Since all raw data files in this repository are empty, the bids-validator must
to be configured to not report empty data files as errors. (See more on
bids-validator configuration in the
bids-validator README.)
Just run the validator as follows (using the eeg_matchingpennies dataset as an
example, and assuming you are in a command line at the root of the
bids-examples repository):
bids-validator eeg_matchingpennies --config.ignore=99
The --config.ignore=99 "flag" tells the bids-validator to ignore empty data
files rather than to report the "empty file" error .
For datasets that contain NIfTI .nii files, you also need to add the
ignoreNiftiHeaders flag to the bids-validator call, to suppress the issue
that NIfTI headers are not found.
For example:
bids-validator ds003 --config.ignore=99 --ignoreNiftiHeaders
Validating all examples
If you want to validate all examples in one go, you can use the run_tests.sh
script that is provided in this repository. This script makes use of the
bidsconfig.json configuration file for the bids-validator, and appropriately
handles some special case examples (see
Validator Exceptions).
Simply run ./run_tests.sh in a command line from the root of the
bids-examples repository.
Validator exceptions
Some datasets may include a custom .bids-validator-config.json to ignore
errors generated from idiosyncrasies of the datasets as they existed on
creation.
| name | errors ignored |
|---|---|
| genetics_ukbb | SliceTiming values for tasks is larger than given TR, EchoTime1 and EchoTime2 are not provided for any of the phasediff files. |
Other datasets may include a .SKIP_VALIDATION file, to skip the validation
with the continuous integration service. This is useful for datasets that
cannot pass at the moment due to lack of coverage in the
bids-validator.
Note however, that the .SKIP_VALIDATION file only impacts the continuous
integration service, or validation when run with the run_tests.sh script (see
Validating all examples). This file does not
have any effect when running bids-validator from custom scripts, the web-based
validator, docker, or from the command line.
| name | why skipped |
|---|---|
| ds000001-fmriprep | lack of coverage for "derivatives" in bids-validator |
