NWB conversion of example BiconditionalOdor data session

[mvdm]

@jgmaz will make a first attempt at this based on @yarikoptic example notebook (please add link in this issue)

Some issues to consider:

• Do we want a "raw" NWB file that has all the continuous wideband data (for archiving, spike sorting, ...), and then a different NWB file that contains downsampled LFP data, sorted spikes, metadata etc?
• How to incorporate probe layout? (See Use electrode site layout information for spike sorting and/or visualization #12)

[mvdm]

Current version of the conversion notebook is able to load some data including metadata. We discussed some next steps, including figuring out which standards and/or existing data files are most similar to ours, so that we can use their naming scheme and organization as an example. @yarikoptic do you have suggestions for where to find existing NWB datasets from labs similar to ours? Do Loren Frank, Buzsaki labs have something already shared publicly?

[yarikoptic]

They did share quite a number of datasets already. I am not sure which ones would be the closest to this one to provide an example. But please skim through the datasets we have on https://gui.dandiarchive.org/#/dandiset

Meeting 2/1/2021, we agree that we want both a set of "raw" NWB files that has all the continuous wideband data, video etc (for archiving, spike sorting, et cetera), and then a different promoted set of NWB file that contains downsampled LFP data, sorted spikes, metadata for actual analysis.

@mvdm to give @yarikoptic access to mvdmlab server so he can run Jimmie's initial script for example data

[mvdm]

Idea: convert Jimmie's notebook to script that takes as input: path to raw data and metadata file, then outputs raw data NWB set of files
