We will describe two approaches: in the first the data files are is kept in their original format, in the second approaches the files are explicitly converted to BrainVision (the recommended format for EEG data in BIDS). Prior to conversion the data (in principle) comprises 10 files, one EEG file per subject. After conversion there are 52 or 72 files for the two approaches, which includes the EEG data and the sidecar files with metadata.

It is important that you use appropriate tools. BIDS stores metadata in TSV and JSON files, which makes then not only machine readable, but also human readable. A good graphical text/code editor helps you to navigate through the full directory structure and check or update the content of individual files. We recommend the [atom editor](http://atom.io/), but there are good [alternatives](https://alternativeto.net/software/atom/).

The BIDS standard for EEG is introduced in [this preprint publication](https://psyarxiv.com/63a4y/), which has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication in [Scientific Data](http://nature.com/sdata/). The full [BIDS specification](https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) including MEG, iEEG, MRI and behavioral data is maintained and available online.
