Hello,

I am Matt Stead, the creator of all the MEF formats (1-3). The new version MEF version (MED) is faster & produces better compression than its predecessors. It continues to be HIPAA & IRB compliant. A fuller description of MED is available on https://MEDFormat.org.

I currently have 4 groups asking me about official BIDS compatibility.

MED data can be read in open source multiple tools (Matlab, FieldTrip, EEGLab, Python , Neo).

These tools are freely available in compiled form for all major platforms (MacOS, Linux, Windows) as well as having source code and specification documents available on https://github.com/MEDFormat.

There are also multiple free data converters (MEF, EDF, DAT, Neuralynx (NCS & NRD), & NATUS) available.

I would be happy to make the pull request for this.
