# Neuroscience Data Structure (NDS)
\# Neuroscience Data Structure (NDS) Examples

The objective of this project is to put together a set of specifications and tools that would allow the standardization of a directory structure containing experimental data recorded with animal models in neuroscience.
For this, we aim at capitalizing on the success of BIDS for human neuroimaging data, while retaining the specificities of data sets obtained in animal models.
Such a standardized data structure will facilitate obtaining reproducible research and data sharing following the FAIR principles.

[Note that the name Neuroscience Data Structure and the associated acronym NDS are purely provisonal]

\## Raw vs Processed Data Example



In NDS, experimental data is organized into `raw/` and `processed/` directories:



project/

├── sub-001/

│ ├── ses-001/

│ │ ├── raw/

│ │ │ ├── eeg\_data.edf

│ │ │ └── video.mp4

│ │ └── processed/

│ │ ├── eeg\_cleaned.fif

│ │ └── motion\_tracking.csv



yaml

Copy code



\- `raw/`: contains the \*\*original unprocessed data\*\*.

\- `processed/`: contains \*\*cleaned or analyzed data\*\*, ready for sharing or further analysis.
