I'd really recommend renaming the rotation axes to yaw, roll, and pitch (that would be the analogous angle order). There was no consensus either way on the google docs discussion. Someone said both are confusing, which I guess might be expected, but alpha, beta, gamma, are just more confusing...

Could you chime in? I think the other guy commenting might be amenable to accepting this as well.

I agree that both are confusing, but at least alpha, beta and gamma are SO confusing that everyone realizes that additional specification is needed to define them properly. With roll, yaw and pitch it seems at first that all is clear, until you have a number of different people go through different use cases. See the more challenging examples that I posted on the google doc under https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oG-C8T-dWPqfVzL2W8HO3elWK8NIh2cOCPssRGv23n0/edit?disco=AAAA4fkI4eY

@robertoostenveld sorry, I only now saw the update, reply there. I don't think confusion on purpose is good in this case, because the documentation is very eclectic so we might be sending people down rabbit holes. Wiki, where people will invariably go first, does a particularly poor job explaining both euler and TB angles for the casual non-mathematics-versed user. The only thing that wiki has going for it here are the aircraft animations on the TB page. Yaw, Pitch, Roll, will be intuited correctly as long as we specify the starting postion. That we can do (1) as (I think, it's pretty vague) is currently proposed, aligning the implant with the world coordinate system (meaning most implants will be at yaw 0 pitch -90 roll 0) or (2) relative to the implantation stereotax normal (meaning most implants will be at 0 0 0).

For comparison, Euler commonly has the normal pointing up so most implants will be.... 0 -180 0 🤔

in the last BEP032 meeting we discussed further and wanted to follow this approach now (based on the Allen Inst. standard and IBL standard):

Assumption: x,y,z is posterior, ventral, right (unit needs to be specified).

Translational origin (0,0,0) needs to be defined (typically Bregma for rodents).

Rotational origin (0,0,0) is the probe facing up with the tip facing forward. Rotations are all clockwise in degrees and around the tip. For multi-shank probes, the “tip” of the probe is defined as the end of the left shank if you are looking at the electrodes.

  • yaw: clockwise when looking down
  • pitch: In the direction of the electrode face
  • roll: clockwise when looking down at the probe

The depth (unit needs to be specified) is a translation in the direction that the tip is pointing.

We need to add a “probe_model”, which references probeinterface_library

  • versioning of probe library files (raised here)
  • annotation of “tip” position (raised here)

NOTE: We need to change the electrode x,y,z.
X,y,z in BIDS refers to location in brain, not on probe.

The “reference atlas” if you visually verify the area is basically the atlas you looked at before you nod and said “eh, good enough”. This seems at once an overly detailed (does this really matter? the coordinates are commonly given with sub-mm precision) and underdetermined (what coordinates did you look at in the atlas?). I think it's best just to drop this.

…es (#1806)

* RF: to have "microephys" (Microelectrode physiology) for modality and icephys and ecephys for suffixes and datatypes

* Reflecting decision of having two separate datatypes under the Microelectrode Electrophysiology

#1800 (comment)

Consensus reached during working group meeting on 2024-05-15:

- modality = "Microelectrode Electrophysiology"
- datatypes = "icephys" and "ecephys"
- suffixes = "_icephys" and "_ecephys"

* Adjust wording to Horea's recommendation

* Various fixups and tune ups to wording from code review

I found "official" https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/blob/HEAD/CONTRIBUTING.md#soft-rules

Similarly try to use "hard word wrapping": if a sentence gets long and extends a line length beyond 80-100 characters, continue the sentence on the next line.

and below there the advise seems to still keep sentence end ending the line, e.g.

Unprocessed MEG data MUST be stored in the native file format of the MEG instrument
with which the data was collected.
With the MEG specification of BIDS, we wish to promote the adoption of good practices
in the management of scientific data.

@Peyman-N could you please as a first step do such reformatting so to ease adding suggestions and minimize number of commits
