+ EMBER follows widely adopted, community-driven data standards to promote interoperability and reproducibility across multimodal neuroscience datasets. + The framework currently supports + BIDS + and + NWB + formats, along with hybrid layouts that combine both where appropriate, and anticipate accepting new standards. + These standards ensure datasets remain consistent, shareable, and aligned with best practices in the BBQS and DCAIC communities. +
