To generate lean BIDS output, consider using both the `-b` and the `--minmeta` flags
42+
to your heudiconv command. The `-b` flag generates a json file with BIDS keys, while
43+
the `--minmeta` flag restricts the json file to only BIDS keys. Without `--minmeta`,
44+
the json file and the associated Nifti file contains DICOM metadata extracted using
45+
dicomstack.
