BIDS Steering Group nominations Thank you for taking the time to nominate yourself to this position! The BIDS Steering Group is responsible for approving and advancing BEPs through the BIDS standard process, as well as more general...

@BIDSCommunity, it’s time to nominate 🏆and elect 🗳️two new Steering Group members! The nomination period opened on September 3rd and will close on Friday, September 19th at 11:59pm (Anywhere on Earth; UTC-12). 👉Nominate yourself here: forms.gle/vFNjKCNuP29L...

The talk series is back after a summer break! 🌞 Join us Aug 28 at noon ET / 6 PM CET for a fascinating session with the academic power duo @dorahermes.bsky.social & Kai Miller! 🧠✨ They’ll explore how single-pulse signals reveal biomarkers and map brain connectivity. Don’t miss it!

Major thanks to @kayrobbins.bsky.social, Tal Pal Attia, Sándor Beniczky, Jorge Bosch-Bayard, Arnaud Delorme, Brian Lundstrom, Christine Rogers, Stefan Rampp, Yahya Shirazi, Young Truong, @pedro-valdes.bsky.social, Greg Worrell & Scott Makeig

The schema can be browsed here: www.hedtags.org/display_hed..... Our paper also include links to BIDS examples, validators and other tools.

How do you share annotations of your (i)EEG data? Super excited to share our new manuscript describing the HED library schema with 396 standardized, machine readable, @bidsstandard.bsky.social compatible, #EEG or #iEEG annotations, based on the SCORE standard: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Join us for the BIDS virtual Town Hall Wednesday, July 16 at 11:00 AM EDT — on the OSSIG Crowdcast at crowdcast.io/ossig2025

We’ll present updates from BIDS, extension proposals, and the community. We hope to see you there and hear your thoughts.

Congratulations!!

Let’s try?

This is an #iEEG study (thanks for suggesting the tag @vanmedge.bsky.social)

Human pulvinar stimulation engages select cortical pathways in epilepsy The pulvinar has been proposed as an effective neuromodulation target for patients with posterior quadrant and temporal epilepsies. However, the pulvinar has a large tissue volume, multiple subnuclei, and widespread cortical connections. It remains unknown whether electrical stimulation of distinct pulvinar subregions affects the temporal, occipital, and parietal areas differently. To address this gap, we delivered single-pulse electrical stimulation to the pulvinar and measured the resulting brain stimulation evoked potentials in twelve patients undergoing stereotactic EEG for drug-resistant epilepsy. Brain stimulation evoked potentials were parameterized across the occipital, temporal and parietal cortex. Stimulation of the lateral pulvinar elicited significant brain stimulation evoked potentials in striate and extrastriate areas that diminish as stimulation shifts towards the medial pulvinar. Conversely, stimulation of the ventral aspect of the medial pulvinar produced significant lateral temporal evoked potentials, which diminish with lateral pulvinar stimulation. We also found that stimulation of the dorsomedial pulvinar evoked significant parietal responses with limited striate/extrastriate and lateral temporal responses. These results demonstrate that electrical stimulation of specific pulvinar subregions influences distinct occipital, parietal and lateral temporal areas. Selective targeting of pulvinar subregions to maximize seizure network engagement may be essential for individualized treatment of posterior quadrant and temporal epilepsies. ### Competing Interest Statement N.M.G is an industry consultant for NeuroOne.

A QR code for the BIDS community survey

The 🎉 2024 BIDS Community Survey 🎉 is open until April 3. We are looking for your input on how you use BIDS and future directions for BIDS. We want to hear from users and non-users, experts and non-experts. Please share your views and share this survey widely!

Survey: bit.ly/bidssurvey2024

We are very happy and proud to be awarded the The Neuro - Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prize.

To paraphrase Yaroslav Halchenko who was in Montreal to receive the prize on behalf of the whole community.

"Standards are the common language of open science!"
