+    system can be stored (or linked) in the *sync* group. In the NWB format, hardware-recorded time data
     must then be corrected to a common time base (e.g., timestamps from all hardware sources aligned) before
     it can be included in the *timestamps* of the *TimeSeries*. This means, in the case
     of :py:meth:`~pynwb.base.TimeSeries` we need to be careful that we are not including data with incompatible
