Overview
The first Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) hackathon brought together neuroscientists and software developers to discuss the development of a common data format for neurophysiology. This gathering marked the beginning of the NWB initiative, aiming to standardize neuroscience data to enable greater data sharing and collaboration across the field.
Objective
The primary objective of this inaugural hackathon was to establish the groundwork for developing a standardized neurophysiology data format. Participants discussed challenges in data sharing, examined existing file formats, and began exploring potential solutions that would eventually evolve into the NWB data standard.
