The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)
A community-led standard to organize, describe and share neuroimaging data. In 2023 BIDS received the International Open Science Prize of The Neuro.
Guiomar Niso: Led MEG-BIDS; chaired the first elected Steering Group (2019–2023).
-
INDoS: Improving Neuroimaging Data for Sharing
EU COST Action CA24161 (2025–2029) to make neuroimaging data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, through shared standards, tools, training and ethical guidelines.
Guiomar Niso: Vice Chair.
-
EEG101: Fundamentals of Open & Rigorous EEG Science
EU COST Action CA24148 (2025–2029) building a European network for open, reproducible and inclusive EEG research.
Guiomar Niso: Management Committee, Spain.
-
brainlife.io
An open, decentralized cloud platform for reproducible neuroscience data analysis.
Guiomar Niso: Core team, Indiana University (2021–2023).

NeuroJSON
An NIH-funded initiative to make neuroimaging data portable, searchable and reusable using JSON-based formats.
Guiomar Niso: Scientific Steering Committee.
-
The Open MEG Archive (OMEGA)
The first open data repository fully dedicated to magnetoencephalography (MEG).
-
HERMES
An open toolbox for the study of functional and effective brain connectivity.

#EEGManyLabs and multi-analyst studies
Large international collaborations on the replicability and analytical robustness of science, including
-
Brainstorm
Open-source application for the analysis of MEG, EEG, fNIRS, ECoG and other electrophysiology recordings, with a graphical interface that requires no programming.
-
MNE-Python
Open-source Python package for exploring, visualizing and analysing human neurophysiological data such as MEG, EEG, sEEG, ECoG and NIRS.
-
OpenNeuro
Free and open platform for sharing neuroimaging data organized with the BIDS standard. We contribute several datasets.
-
ARTEM-IS: Agreed Reporting Template for EEG Methodology – International Standard
Web application that helps researchers document EEG and ERP methods in detail, producing a human-readable report and a machine-readable JSON summary.
-
EEGManyPipelines
Many-analyst project in which independent teams analysed the same EEG dataset to measure how analysis choices affect results.
-
Multi100
Crowd initiative in which independent analysts reanalysed 100 published studies in the social and behavioural sciences to test how robust their findings are to analytical choices. Published in Nature (2026).
