NeuroConv
A powerful utility that streamlines the conversion process from various proprietary neurophysiology data formats to NWB. Supporting multiple data types and formats, NeuroConv makes data standardization accessible and efficient.
Open-source tools
NWB software
We develop open-source tools to make neurophysiology data management and standardization accessible to all researchers.
Core tools
The NWB toolchain
NWB GUIDE
A user-friendly graphical interface that offers a code-free solution for converting neurophysiology data to NWB format. Perfect for researchers who prefer a visual approach to data conversion and management.
NWB Inspector
A comprehensive tool that scans NWB files for potential errors and areas of improvement. It performs automated validation checks, generates detailed reports, and provides suggestions for optimizing your neurophysiology data files.
MatNWB
The MATLAB API for reading and writing NWB files. MatNWB generates MATLAB classes from the NWB schema, including any neurodata extensions, so labs that analyze their data in MATLAB can create, read, and validate NWB files without switching languages. Eivind Hennestad on our team is its lead developer.
Neurodata extensions
NDX extensions
Community extensions to the NWB schema for specialized data types.
NDX Anatomical Localization
NWB extension for localizing objects (e.g. electrodes) against a reference image (e.g. CCF). Provides a standardized way to store coordinates of objects with respect to a reference space, supporting multiple localizations in the same file that may correspond to different spaces or registration methods.
GitHubNDX Binned Spikes
NWB extension to store binned spikes (e.g. a non-averaged PSTH) with respect to time events. Designed to store counts of spikes around a set of events like stimuli or behavioral events, with support for multiple conditions and unit-specific data organization.
GitHubNDX Fiber Photometry
NWB extension for storing fiber photometry data. Provides neurodata types to capture the full experimental setup—including excitation sources, photodetectors, optical fibers, dichroic mirrors, and indicators—alongside the recorded fluorescence response series, enabling standardized and reproducible representation of fiber photometry experiments.
GitHubNDX Sound
NWB extension for sounds. Provides tools to store acoustic waveform series in NWB files and includes visualization widgets for both static and interactive display of sound data with waveform, spectrogram, and playback capabilities.
