Open-Science Tools

Here are some open-science projects and tools that I help develop and maintain:

  • EMG-BIDS Extension Proposal : A proposal to extend the BIDS standard for EMG and high-density EMG data. Pull Request Draft Specification

  • Stim-BIDS Extension Proposal : A proposal to extend the BIDS standard for stimulus presentation and corresponding annotation. Pull Request Draft Specification

  • EMGIO : A Python package for EMG data import/export and manipulation. [Documentation] [Repository]

  • signalJourney : A specification and toolkit for standardizing electrophysiology processing pipeline descriptions. [Documentation] [Repository]

  • MarkIt-Mistral : A powerful python package and web app for converting PDF documents into Markdown. [WebApp] [Repository]

  • MATLAB-MCP : A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for MATLAB, giving the LLMs the ability to run sections of code, access to the MATLAB workspace, and the ability understand figures.

  • HED-MCP : A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for Hierarchical Event Descriptors (HED), giving LLMs the ability to understand HED tags, validate HED annotations, and generate compatible JSON templates.

  • OpenScience Collective : An initiative to fund the open-science tools using a small portion of grant funding.

  • EEGManySteps : A community-driven project aimed at standardizing the data collection and analysis workflows for Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) experiments.

  • Annotation Garden Initiative : An open infrastructure for collaborative, multi-layered annotation of stimuli used in neuroscience research. Building on BIDS and HED standards, AGI enables researchers to share, refine, and build upon stimulus annotations through GitHub-based version control. [Website] [GitHub]

  • Image Annotation : A VLM-based image annotation tool for the Annotation Garden ecosystem, providing collaborative annotation capabilities for static image datasets using multiple vision language models. [Live Tool] [Repository]
