Spike2 data conversion

Install NeuroConv with the additional dependencies necessary for reading Spike2 data by CED.

pip install "neuroconv[spike2]"

Convert Spike2 data to NWB using Spike2RecordingInterface.

from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
from pathlib import Path
from neuroconv.datainterfaces import Spike2RecordingInterface

# For this interface we need to pass the specific path to the files.
file_path = f"{ECEPHY_DATA_PATH}/spike2/m365_1sec.smrx"
# Change the file_path to the location in your system
interface = Spike2RecordingInterface(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)
