Overview

The Neurodata Without Borders: Neurophysiology (NWB:N) team held a tutorial on the NWB:N data standard and on using PyNWB and MatNWB at the Cosyne 2019 Workshops.

The NWB:N project is an effort to standardize the description and storage of neurophysiology data and metadata. NWB:N enables data sharing and reuse and reduces the energy-barrier to applying data analytics both within and across labs. NWB:N is more than just a file format but it defines an ecosystem of tools, methods, and standards for storing, sharing, and analyzing complex neurophysiology data.

The team had recently released NWB:N 2.0, and was excited to teach the user-base and potential new users about NWB:N and the software tools.
