Abstract
The Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) initiative promotes data standardization in neuroscience to increase research reproducibility and opportunities. In the first NWB pilot project, neurophysiologists and software developers produced a common data format for recordings and metadata of cellular electrophysiology and optical imaging experiments. The format specification, application programming interfaces, and sample datasets have been released.

© 2015 Elsevier Inc. The Kavli Foundation, General Electric, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the National Science Foundation (grant 0855272), and the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility provided the financial support for conducting the NWB: Neurophysiology pilot project. Janelia Research Campus administered and hosted the two project meetings. The project was heavily dependent on exchanges of the project team with external experts who provided critical input. We thank Jim Berg, Aleena Garner, and Kenji Mitzuseki for sharing experimental data; Jack Waters for help with defining the data model for optophysiology; David Feng and Lydia Ng for support with technical issues of HDF5; and Anton Arkhipov, Tsai-Wen Chen, Saskia De Vries, Severine Durand, Nathan Gouwens, and Zengcai Guo for reviewing the prototype version of the NWB format.Attached Files
