+ * AqNWB is a C++ API for acquiring neurophysiological data directly into the NWB (Neurodata Without Borders) format.
+ * Our goal is to provide a lightweight API to integrate with existing acquisition systems.

+ *     integrate NWB with an acquisition system.
+ * - \ref devdocs   :  This section is for developers and community members who would like to
+ *                   contributed to the development of AqNWB.
+ * - **API Reference:** The  [Namespaces](namespaces.html), [Classes](annotated.html), and [Files](files.html)
+ *   sections are autogenerated from the AqNWB source code using Doxygen, providing a detailed reference of all
+ *   classes, namespaces, files, functions, etc. defined by AqNWB.
