    Fungal Electrophysiology Data Structure

    FEDS is a simple, non-opinionated standard for storing and sharing raw fungal electrical recordings. It focuses on the physics of the measurement—time and voltage—rather than the interpretation of the biology.

    The on-disk layout follows conventions popularized by the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS): human-readable metadata files, tab-separated tables, and a predictable directory hierarchy adapted for fungal electrophysiology time series.

    Why FEDS?

    • Future-Proof: Metadata stored in plain-text JSON/TSV.
    • Minimal Friction: Scriptable in an afternoon.
    • Interpretation Neutral: The standard captures the signal, not biological meaning.
