1. Overview

1.1. Introduction

This is an NWB extension for storing photometry recordings and associated metadata. This extension stores photometry information across three folders in the NWB file: acquisition, processing, and general. The acquisiton folder contains an ROIResponseSeries (inherited from pynwb.ophys), which references rows of a FibersTable rather than 2 Photon ROIs. The new types for this extension are in metadata and processing

1.2. Metadata

1. FibersTable stores rows for each fiber with information about the location, excitation, source, photodetector, fluorophore, and more (associated with each fiber).

2. ExcitationSourcesTable stores rows for each excitation source with information about the peak wavelength, source type, and the commanded voltage series of type CommandedVoltageSeries

3. PhotodectorsTable stores rows for each photodetector with information about the peak wavelength, type, etc.

4. FluorophoresTable stores rows for each fluorophore with information about the fluorophore itself and the injeciton site.

1.3. Processing

1. DeconvoledROIResponseSeries stores DfOverF and Fluorescence traces and extends ROIResponseSeries to contain information about the deconvolutional and downsampling procedures performed.

This extension was developed by Ryan Ly, Ben Dichter, and Akshay Jaggi.
