Evalute possible integrations between NIX and NWB:N

Key Investigators

• Christian Kellner (G-Node / Red Hat)
• Thomas Wachtler (G-Node, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München)
• Oliver Ruebel (LBNL)

Project Description

Explore possiblilities for integration between the NIX and NWB:N standards and software ecosystems.

Objectives

• Explore possible conversion of select types (e.g, for electrophysiology) from NWB:N to NIX
• Explore (for select standard NIX file) conversion of select types to NWB:N types
• Identify possible avenues for future collaboration between NIX and NWB:N

Approach and Plan

• Select example dataset we can use for testing/evaluation
• Select one or a few NWB:N types (e.g., ElectricalSeries) for conversion to NIX
• Implement conversion of select types (likely in Python from PyNWB container to NIX type)
• Review design of NIX and NWB:N to evaluate feasibility to implement NIX as a backend for NWB:N
