Ariana Williams

Ariana is an undergraduate on the University of Sheffield’s BSc Psychology course and has a passion for empirical technology-focused research.


Improving data standardisation tools for global neuroscience collaboration


Project Overview

Creation of a document to guide a novice through the conversion of Electroencephalogram (EEG) data into Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) formatting, by writing and explaining python code.

What are the key results?

I created a document to guide a beginner through the conversion of their EEG data into BIDS compliancy:

  • Promoted data standardisation and sharing
  • Lowered barriers to entry for data standardisation
  • Highlighted the importance of good beginner support and accessibility while creating a more open science culture.




How do you feel you have benefited from completing this internship, and has it made you consider future career paths?

I have developed both individually and professionally, gaining coding skills, furthering my self-management abilities, and becoming better at responding to feedback and problem solving.

Additionally, I have become more aware of salient issues within the open science movement and have become more knowledgeable regarding EEG data. These beneficial experiences have further solidified my desire to incorporate neuro-technology into any future careers, and to continue coding!
