a brain scanning instrument was acquiring data according to particular
scanning sequence/protocol.

1. **Data type** - a functional group of different types of data. In BIDS we
define eight data types: `func` (task based and resting state functional MRI),
`dwi` (diffusion weighted imaging), `fmap` (field inhomogeneity mapping data
such as field maps), `anat` (structural imaging such as T1, T2, etc.), `meg`
(magnetoencephalography), `eeg` (electroencephalography), `ieeg` (intracranial
electroencephalography), `beh` (behavioral).

Data files are contained in a directory named for the data type.
In raw datasets, the data type directory is nested inside subject and
(optionally) session directories.

1. **Task** - a set of structured activities performed by the participant.
Tasks are usually accompanied by stimuli and responses, and can greatly vary
