the kwikteam is set to abandon the current file format.

my proposal

  • instead of making a full kwd simply builds a basic dat file for phy
  • when we "merge" events, rather than using the kwik file format, pull events and the clustering results into another file format. (python-neo? postgres database?)

proposal: for the "merge" step, we should merge everything into one nwb file for a given experiment

the @AllenInstitute has a very nice python API for writing nwb files:

https://github.com/AllenInstitute/nwb-api

that repo includes the spec

help docs are here (including examples)

also: since we are moving to OpenEphys, note that it is highly highly highly likely that OpenEphys will support the NWB format
