Integration with Heudiconv for BIDS Conversion

  • MNE-BIDS: 0.12
  • MNE: 1.4.0

Problem:

I am using Heudiconv (GitHub - nipy/heudiconv: A flexible DICOM converter for organizing brain imaging data into structured directory layouts) to convert MRI DICOM data into BIDS. When attempting to integrate MNE to handle EEG data, MNE-BIDS requires that BIDS-Version in the dataset_description.json file be the same before proceeding to convert EEG data into BIDS format. This is preventing me from allowing MRI and EEG BIDS data to live in the same directory structure.

Here is the error I encounter:

ValueError: Previous BIDS version used, please redo the conversion to BIDS in a new directory after ensuring all software is updated

Questions:

  1. Is there anyway to bypass this requirement? Or specify a BIDS Version before writing the raw BIDS data?

  2. How do I know which BIDS Version MNE-BIDS currently satisfies? I was not able to find this defined within your release docs.

I appreciate the help!

This is being handled here now: write_raw_bids hits ValueError on BIDSVersion if BIDSversion used is greater then 1.4.0 路 Issue #767 路 mne-tools/mne-bids 路 GitHub
