Tucker-Davis Technologies (TDT) data conversion#

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

pip install "neuroconv[tdt]"

Convert TDT data to NWB using TdtRecordingInterface.

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from neuroconv.datainterfaces import TdtRecordingInterface
>>>
>>> # For this data interface we need to pass the folder_path with the location of the data
>>> folder_path = f"{ECEPHY_DATA_PATH}/tdt/aep_05"
>>> # Change the folder_path to the location of the data in your system
>>> interface = TdtRecordingInterface(folder_path=folder_path, gain=1.0, verbose=False)
>>>
>>> # Extract what metadata we can from the source files
>>> metadata = interface.get_metadata()
>>> # session_start_time is required for conversion. If it cannot be inferred
>>> # automatically from the source files you must supply one.
>>> 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}"  # This should be something like: "./saved_file.nwb"
>>> interface.run_conversion(nwbfile_path=nwbfile_path, metadata=metadata)
