Filenames

These are the three main types of files you’ll find in a BIDS dataset:

1. .json files that contain key: value metadata

2. .tsv files that contain tables of metadata

3. Raw data files (for example: .jpg files for images or .nii.gz files for fMRI data.)

BIDS has a standardized way of naming files that tries to implement the following principles:

• Do not include white spaces in file names

  • They make scripting harder.

• Use only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.

  • Some operating systems cannot handle special characters.

• Do not rely on letter case (UPPERCASE and lowercase)

  • For some operating systems a is the same as A.

• Use separators and case in a systematic and meaningful way.

  • thisIsCamelCase

  • this_is_snake_case

Filename template

key1 - value1 _ key2 - value2 _ suffix .extension

• Suffixes are preceded by an underscore
• Entities are composed of key-value pairs separated by underscores
• There is a limited set of suffixes for each data type (anat, func, eeg, …)
• For a given suffix, some entities are required and some others are [optional].
• Keys, value and suffixes can only contain letters and/or numbers.
• Entity key-value pairs have a specific order in which they must appear in filename.
• Some entities key-value can only be used for derivative data.
