The suffix `eeg` and the extension `.edf` depend on the imaging modality and
the data format and indicate further details of the file's contents.

Entities within a file name MUST be unique.
For example, the following file name is not valid because it uses the `acq`
entity twice:
`sub-01_acq-laser_acq-uneven_electrodes.tsv`

In cases where entities duplicate metadata,
the presence of an entity should not be used as a replacement for
the corresponding metadata field.
