DataJoint Elements for Neurophysiology
DataJoint Elements provides an efficient approach for neuroscience labs to create and manage scientific data workflows: the complex multi-step methods for data collection, preparation, processing, analysis, and modeling that researchers must perform in the course of an experimental study. The work is derived from the developments in leading neuroscience projects and uses the DataJoint framework for defining, deploying, and sharing their data workflows.
DataJoint
the open-source framework for data pipelines and automated computational workflows + related documentation, tools, and utilities.
DataJoint Elements
a collection of curated modules for assembling workflows for the major modalities of neurophysiology experiments + related documentation, tools, and utilities.
An overview of the principles of DataJoint workflows and the goals of DataJoint Elements are described in the position paper "DataJoint Elements: Data Workflows for Neurophysiology".
