Multicentre studies are of utmost importance to confirm hypotheses. The lack of established standards and the ensuing complexity of their data management often hamper their implementation. The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is an initiative for organizing and describing neuroimaging and electrophysiological data. Building on BIDS, we have developed two software programs: BIDS Manager and BIDS Uploader. The former has been designed to collect, organise and manage the data and the latter has been conceived to handle their transfer and anonymisation from the partner centres. These two programs aim at facilitating the implementation of multicentre study by providing a standardised framework.
多中心研究对于验证假说至关重要。由于缺乏既定的标准，以及随之而来的数据管理复杂性，往往会阻碍其实施。脑成像数据结构（BIDS）是一种用于组织和描述神经影像学和电生理学数据的倡议。在此基础上，我们开发了两个软件程序：BIDS 管理器和 BIDS 上传器。前者旨在收集、组织和管理数据，后者旨在处理数据从合作中心的传输和匿名化。这两个程序旨在通过提供标准化框架来促进多中心研究的实施。
