Fig 2. Stable, scalable BIDS validation.

Fig 2.

CuBIDS wraps a stable version of the BIDS Validator and adds a few additional features including the ability to reorganize the validator output into an easy to read, tabular structure and save it as a TSV. A) The standard BIDS Validator’s default option (Gorgolewski et al., 2016) validates an entire BIDS dataset and outputs a summary of the errors and warnings it discovers to the terminal screen. B) In addition to visualizing the output in a scalable and easy-to-read format, cubids-validate includes the standard BIDS Validator’s ability to ignore cross-session comparisons or metadata from NIfTI headers while also adding an option for sequential participant-by-participant validation. This feature, which we recommend users leverage, parallelizes validation and validates each subject directory as its own BIDS dataset.
