Hierarchical Event Descriptors (HED)

Linking brain, body, behavior and experience in experiments through metadata to enable analysis

Why HED?

A very important question, for any neuroimaging time series data - What exactly happened during this recording?
HED annotations record and store detailed answers to this question with the data - in a form readable by both human and machines.
