bidser: Work with 'BIDS' (Brain Imaging Data Structure) Projects

Tools for working with 'BIDS' (Brain Imaging Data Structure) formatted neuroimaging datasets. The package provides functionality for reading and querying 'BIDS'-compliant projects, creating mock 'BIDS' datasets for testing, and extracting preprocessed data from 'fMRIPrep' derivatives. It supports searching and filtering 'BIDS' files by various entities such as subject, session, task, and run to streamline neuroimaging data workflows. See Gorgolewski et al. (2016) <doi:10.1038/sdata.2016.44> for the 'BIDS' specification.
