ABSTRACT
Neurodata Without Borders: Neurophysiology (NWB:N) is a data standard for neurophysiology, providing neuroscientists with a common standard to share, archive, use, and build common analysis tools for neurophysiology data. With NWB:N version 2.0 (NWB:N 2.0) we made significant advances towards creating a usable standard, software ecosystem, and vibrant community for standardizing neurophysiology data. In this manuscript we focus in particular on the NWB:N data standard schema and present advances towards creating an accessible data standard for neurophysiology.
