This\nmeans that the software assumes that its inputs are organized according to the\nBIDS specification and its outputs conform where possible with BIDS.\n\n
Derivatives of processing diffusion MRI are not currently fully\n described in the existing BIDS specification, but describing these\n is part of an ongoing effort. Wherever possible, we conform with\n the draft implementation of the BIDS DWI derivatives available\n [here](https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/wip-derivatives/05-derivatives/05-diffusion-derivatives.html)
