NWBFile Top level of NWB file.
| acquisition |
Any objects representing acquired data |
| analysis |
Custom analysis results |
| file_create_date |
A record of the date the file was created and of subsequent modifications. COMMENT: - The date is stored in UTC with local
timezone offset as ISO 8601 extended formatted strings: 2018-09-28T14:43:54.123+02:00 - Dates stored in UTC end in "Z" with
no timezone offset. - Date accuracy is up to milliseconds. - The file can be created after the experiment was run, so this
may differ from the experiment start time. - Each modification to the nwb file adds a new entry to the array.

| help |
Short description of what this type of NWBContainer contains. |
| identifier |
A unique text identifier for the file. COMMENT: Eg, concatenated lab name, file creation date/time and experimentalist, or
a hash of these and/or other values. The goal is that the string should be unique to all other files.

extended formatted string: 2018-09-28T14:43:54.123+02:00 - Dates stored in UTC end in "Z" with no timezone offset. - Date
accuracy is up to milliseconds.
|
| stimulus_presentation |
