Sylvain Baillet announced the 3rd release of the Open MEG Archive (OMEGA), now augmented (300+ data volumes) and organized according to the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). BIDS is emerging as a practical standard for data organization and dissemination that has recently been extended to MEG, with ongoing efforts towards the integration of multimodal electrophysiology data (https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2018110).
Since its first release in 2016, OMEGA has grown a community of >600 registered users, with 22 published journal articles in less than 2 years.
Importantly, and thanks to BIDS, OMEGA can now readily be imported into major analytical (and free, open-source) software solutions, such as Brainstorm, SPM, FieldTrip, MNE-Python, etc.
