Data coverage
DANDI is a public archive of neurophysiology datasets, including raw and processed data, and associated software containers. Datasets are shared according to Creative Commons CC0 or CC-BY licenses. This US BRAIN Initiative supported archive provides a broad range of cellular neurophysiology data including intracellular and extracellular electrophysiology, optophysiology, calcium imaging, fiber photometry, behavioral time-series, and images from immunostaining experiments, from over 20 species. Data is organized using community standards: NWB - Neurodata Without Borders, BIDS - Brain Imaging Data Structure, NGFF - Next Generation File Format for Zarr-based imaging data, and NIDM - Neuro Imaging Data Model. The S3 bucket is organized as follows: - dandisets/ - Metadata and manifests for each Dandiset version; manifests reference keys under blobs/ or zarrs/ for actual data. See DANDI schema for manifest format specifications. - blobs/ - Deduplicated binary data (NWB files) indexed by content hash. - zarrs/ - Zarr arrays for large imaging datasets. Development of DANDI is supported by the National Institute of Mental Health.
