09. Storing empty room data in BIDS format¶
This example demonstrates how to store empty room data in BIDS format and how to retrieve them.

We are dealing with MEG data, which is often accompanied by so-called “empty room” recordings for noise modeling. Below we show that we can use MNE-BIDS to also save such a recording with the just converted data.
Let us first import mne_bids.
import os.path as op
from datetime import datetime, timezone
import mne
from mne.datasets import sample
from mne_bids import (write_raw_bids, read_raw_bids,
BIDSPath, print_dir_tree)
And define the paths and event_id dictionary.
data_path = sample.data_path()
raw_fname = op.join(data_path, 'MEG', 'sample', 'sample_audvis_raw.fif')
bids_root = op.join(data_path, '..', 'MNE-sample-data-bids')
# Specify the raw_file and events_data and run the BIDS conversion.
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(raw_fname)
raw.info['line_freq'] = 60 # specify power line frequency as required by BIDS
bids_path = BIDSPath(subject='01', session='01',
task='audiovisual', run='01', root=bids_root)
write_raw_bids(raw, bids_path, overwrite=True)

To get an accurate estimate of the noise, it is important that the empty room recording be as close in date as the raw data. We can retrieve the basename corresponding to the empty room recording that is closest in time to the experimental measurement.
er_bids_path = bids_path.find_empty_room()
print(er_bids_path)
