We gave a tutorial on @nwb.org and DANDI at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social this year. If you couldn't make it (or want a refresher), the full recording is up on YouTube. Covers everything from data standardization to finding and reusing public neurophysiology datasets on DANDI.
No borders. Not even the atmosphere.
Mission: record hippocampal place cells in zero gravity
Crew: 3 rats with electrode arrays
Vehicle: Space Shuttle Columbia
Status: data now publicly available on DANDI, 28 years later
The ratstronauts' mission is finally complete. 🐀🚀 h/t NASA

Come visit my poster at #SfN2025 to learn about using LLM agents to analyze open data in #NWB on #DANDI
At #SfN25? Catch Alessio Buccino at the NWB/DANDI booth #3835 at 2pm today for a demo of @spikeinterface.bsky.social , a library for building full analysis pipelines for extracellular recordings: pre-processing, spike sorting, curation, visualization, & more. Select from 10+ sorters or run them all!
At #SfN25? Catch @stephprince.bsky.social at the NWB/DANDI booth #3835 at 10:30am today for a demo of AqNWB, our C++ API for writing data to NWB. We are working with data acquisition systems like Open Ephys to integrate AqNWB so that you can acquire data directly in NWB. nwb.org/aqnwb/

#FlatironCCN is hosting a @nwb.org hackathon in August to bring together scientists, research software engineers and students to work on development, tool integration, outreach and training. Learn more and register: nwb.org/events/hck25... #neuroscience #science
Join us at the NWB Community Hackathon at @flatironinstitute.org, Aug 4-6! Hack on NWB-related projects with the devs and tool builders, integrate tools with NWB, contribute to the standard, and help shape the future of neurophysiology data standardization. nwb.org/events/hck25...
Version 0.7.0 of movement released!
This version adds support for loading and saving pose data in Neurodata Without Borders (@nwb.org) format, using the ndx-pose extension.
We hope this will make it easier to use movement within larger data analysis pipelines.
