Automating Data Integration and Publishing for Neuroimaging via LSLAutoBIDS

Cognitive neuroscience routinely collect large datasets, yet data integration, management, version control, and publishing is rarely automated. Here, we present such a workflow, offering open science by design, with an implementation in the python based `LSLAutoBIDS` open-source package. We first describe our exemplary workflow based on LabStreamingLayer (to integrate), BIDS (to transform), DataLad (to version), and Dataverse (to publish), before discussing the place such tools can have in future data collection efforts.
