About

NeuroConv is a Python package for converting neurophysiology data in a variety of proprietary formats to the Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) standard.

Features:

  • Reads data from 38 popular neurophysiology data formats and writes to NWB using best practices.
  • Extracts relevant metadata from each format.
  • Handles large data volume by reading datasets piece-wise.
  • Minimizes the size of the NWB files by automatically applying chunking and lossless compression.
  • Supports ensembles of multiple data streams, and supports common methods for temporal alignment of streams.

Installation

To install the latest stable release of neuroconv though PyPI, type:

pip install neuroconv

For more flexibility we recommend installing the latest version directly from GitHub. The following commands create an environment with all the required dependencies and the latest updates:

git clone https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv
cd neuroconv
conda env create -f make_environment.yml
conda activate neuroconv_environment

Note that this will install the package in editable mode.

Finally, if you prefer to avoid conda altogether, the following commands provide a clean installation within the current environment:

pip install git+https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv.git@master
