Naming Convention with additional suffixes?

[F Press]

If you wanted to add a suffix to sub01 so that you can add your own participant identifier and/or group (i.e. control or patient), would that be allowed?  e.g sub01_a

If not, are there any workarounds? I find that these make building 2nd level models easier when you can quickly add all participants with a certain suffix.

Many thanks for your help,

Fiona

That pattern does not comply with the naming convention.

What is wrong with, e.g., sub-01a?

Using pybids or ancpBIDS (both Python libraries), you could then filter the files of interest:

layout = BIDSLayout(your_dataset_path)

file_paths = layout.get(sub='*a', return_type='file')

Same with BIDS matlab

BIDS = bids.layout(your_dataset_path);

subjects = bids.query(BIDS, 'subjects', 'sub', '*a');

files = bids.query(BIDS, 'data', 'sub', '*a');

Hi Fiona,

sub-  is the only ting you must have, what comes after is up to you eg
sub-control0001, sub-patient0002, sub-control0003, etc ... even
numbering is not mandatory eg sub-controlAHK, sub-controlGHR,
sub-patientGFR,
