NWB Query Engines: Tools to Search Data Stored in Neurodata Without Borders Format.

ABSTRACT: The Neurodata Without Borders (abbreviation NWB) format is a current technology for storing neurophysiology data along with the associated metadata. Data stored in the format is organized into separate HDF5 files, each file usually storing the data associated with a single recording session.
