摘要

Standardizing terminology to annotate electrophysiological events can improve both computational research and clinical care. Enriching data with standard terms facilitates data exploration, from case studies to mega-analyses. The machine readability of such electrophysiological event annotations is essential for performing automated analyses. The Hierarchical Event Descriptor (HED) framework provides a standard for describing events in neuroscience experiments but does not yet include terms for electrophysiological data features. The Standardized Computer-based Organized Reporting of EEG (SCORE) defines terms for EEG features but is not yet openly available in machine-readable format. This study therefore developed a HED library schema for SCORE: the HED-SCORE library schema. This library schema makes the SCORE terms machine-readable and searchable and extents the standard HED schema with a controlled hierarchical vocabulary to annotate electrophysiological events. We demonstrate that the HED-SCORE library schema can be used to annotate events in EEG data stored in the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). Clinicians and researchers worldwide can use the HED-SCORE library schema to annotate and compute on human electrophysiological data.
