BdPy data format

BdPy data format (or BrainDecoderToolbox2 data format; BData) consists of two variables: dataset and metadata. dataset stores brain activity data (e.g., voxel signal value for fMRI data), target variables (e.g., ID of stimuli for vision experiments), and additional information specifying experimental design (e.g., run and block numbers for fMRI experiments). Each row corresponds to a single 'sample', and each column representes either single feature (voxel), target, or experiment design information. metadata contains data describing meta-information for each column in dataset.

See BData API examples for useage of BData.
