Creating Projects

Project Structure (YODA)

PRISM projects follow the YODA principles:

my_study/
├── dataset_description.json
├── participants.tsv
├── participants.json
├── sub-001/
│   └── survey/
│       └── sub-001_task-*_survey.tsv
├── code/                       # Analysis scripts
├── analysis/                   # Results and derivatives
├── project.json               # Project metadata
├── contributors.json          # Team information
└── CITATION.cff               # Citation file

Dataset Description

The dataset_description.json file at project root is required and contains:

{
  "Name": "My Study Title",
  "BIDSVersion": "1.9.0",
  "DatasetType": "raw",
  "Authors": ["FirstName LastName"],
  "License": "CC-BY-4.0"
}

Participants Files

participants.tsv

Tab-separated file with one row per participant:

participant_id	age	sex	handedness
sub-001	25	F	R
sub-002	30	M	L

participants.json

Describes the columns in participants.tsv:

{
  "age": {
    "Description": "Age at time of assessment",
    "Units": "years"
  },
  "sex": {
    "Description": "Biological sex",
    "Levels": {
      "F": "Female",
      "M": "Male",
      "O": "Other"
    }
  }
}

NeuroBagel Compliance

PRISM supports NeuroBagel annotations for harmonized participant data across studies.
