About

Maintained by Zhengjia WangFirst published 2025-04-022 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Parse and read the files that comply with the brain imaging data structure, or 'BIDS' format, see the publication from Gorgolewski, K., Auer, T., Calhoun, V. et al. (2016) doi:10.1038/sdata.2016.44. Provides query functions to extract and check the 'BIDS' entity information (such as subject, session, task, etc.) from the file paths and suffixes according to the specification. The package is developed and used in the reproducible analysis and visualization of intracranial electroencephalography, or 'RAVE', see Magnotti, J. F., Wang, Z., and Beauchamp, M. S. (2020) doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117341; see 'citation("bidsr")' for details and attributions.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-bidsr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-bidsr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-bidsr
