Blackrock sorting data conversion

Install NeuroConv with the additional dependencies necessary for reading Blackrock sorting data.

pip install "neuroconv[blackrock]"

Convert Blackrock sorting data to NWB using BlackrockSortingInterface.

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from neuroconv.datainterfaces import BlackrockSortingInterface
>>>
>>> file_path = f"{ECEPHY_DATA_PATH}/blackrock/FileSpec2.3001.nev"
>>> # Change the file_path to the location of the file in your system
>>> interface = BlackrockSortingInterface(file_path=file_path, sampling_frequency=30000.0, 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.fromisoformat(metadata["NWBFile"]["session_start_time"])
>>> session_start_time = session_start_time.replace(tzinfo=ZoneInfo("US/Pacific"))
>>> metadata["NWBFile"].update(session_start_time=session_start_time)
>>>
>>> nwbfile_path = f"{path_to_save_nwbfile}" # This should be something like: "./saved_file.nwb"
>>> interface.run_conversion(nwbfile_path=nwbfile_path, metadata=metadata)
