mne-bids-pipeline 1.0.2

A standardized processing pipeline for your MEG and EEG data

The MNE-BIDS-Pipeline

The MNE-BIDS-Pipeline is a full-flegded processing pipeline for your MEG and EEG data. It operates on data stored according to the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). Under the hood, it uses MNE-Python.

💡 Basic concepts and features

• 🐾 Data processing as a sequence of processing steps.
• ⏏ Your data can be "ejected" from the pipeline at any stage. No lock-in!
• 🧾 Extensive processing and analysis summary reports.
• 🎬 Process just a single participant, or as many as several hundreds of participants – in parallel.
• 🛠 Configuration via a simple text file.
• 💻 Execution via an easy-to-use command-line utility.
• 🆘 Helpful error messages in case something goes wrong.

📘 Installation and usage instructions

Please find the documentation at mne.tools/mne-bids-pipeline.

The original pipeline for MEG/EEG data processing with MNE-Python was built jointly by the Cognition and Brain Dynamics Team and the MNE Python Team, based on scripts originally developed for this publication:

The current iteration is based on BIDS and relies on the extensions to BIDS for EEG and MEG. See the following two references:
