MNE-BIDS
MNE-BIDS is a Python package that allows you to read and write BIDS-compatible datasets with the help of MNE-Python.

Why?
MNE-BIDS links BIDS and MNE-Python with the goal to make your analyses faster to code and more robust, and to facilitate data and code sharing with co-workers and collaborators.
Having your data in BIDS format also allows the use of automated pipelines, for example mne-bids-pipeline.
How?
The documentation can be found under the following links:
- for the stable release
- for the latest (development) version
Getting Help
For any usage questions, please post to the MNE Forum.
Be sure to add the mne-bids tag to your question.
