This dataset is entirely in the NWB Format, and the export and analysis scripts are in both Python and MATLAB. \n\nThis code accompanies the paper \"A NWB-based Dataset and Processing Pipeline of Human Single-Neuron Activity During a Declarative Memory Task\" by N. Chandravadia, D. Liang, A. G.P. Schjetnan, A. Carlson, M. Faraut, J.M. Chung, C.M. Reed, B. Dichter, U. Maoz, S. Kalia, T. Valiante, A. N. Mamelak & U. Rutishauser. Submitted (2019).\n\nAbstract of the paper: \n\n>A challenge for data sharing in systems neuroscience is the multitude of different data formats used. Neurodata Without Borders: Neurophysiology 2.0 (NWB:N) has emerged as a standardized data format for the storage of cellular-level data together with meta-data, stimulus information, and behavior. A key next step to facilitate NWB:N adoption is to provide easy to use processing pipelines to import/export data from/to NWB:N. Here, we present a NWB-formatted dataset of 1863 single neurons recorded from the medial temporal lobes of 59 human subjects undergoing intracranial monitoring while they performed a recognition memory task. We provide code to analyze and export/import stimuli, behavior, and electrophysiological recordings to/from NWB in both MATLAB and Python. The data files are NWB:N compliant, which affords interoperability between programming languages and operating systems. This combined data and code release is a case study for how to utilize NWB:N for human single-neuron recordings and enables easy re-use of this hard-to-obtain data for both teaching and research on the mechanisms of human memory.\n\n
