Biocam conversion

Install NeuroConv with the additional dependencies necessary for reading Biocam data.

pip install "neuroconv[biocam]"

Convert Biocam data to NWB using BiocamRecordingInterface.

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from neuroconv.datainterfaces import BiocamRecordingInterface
>>>
>>> file_path = f"{ECEPHY_DATA_PATH}/biocam/biocam_hw3.0_fw1.6.brw"
>>> # Change the file_path to the location in your system
>>> interface = BiocamRecordingInterface(file_path=file_path, verbose=False)
>>>
>>> # Extract what metadata we can from the source files
>>> metadata = interface.get_metadata()
>>> # For data provenance we add the time zone information to the conversion
>>> session_start_time = datetime(2020, 1, 1, 12, 30, 0, tzinfo=ZoneInfo("US/Pacific"))
>>> metadata["NWBFile"].update(session_start_time=session_start_time)
>>>
>>> # Choose a path for saving the nwb file and run the conversion
>>> nwbfile_path = f"{path_to_save_nwbfile}"
>>> interface.run_conversion(nwbfile_path=nwbfile_path, metadata=metadata)
