Here, following [1], we demonstrate open-source software solutions that support such workflows, each addressing different aspects of the process: (i) electrophysiological data of different origins are represented in a standard description using Neo $(RRID:SCR_000634)$ [2], (ii) complex metadata accumulating in the electrophysiological experiment [3] are organized [4] using the open metadata markup language (odML, $RRID:SCR_001376)$ [5], and (iii) analysis is performed using the Electrophysiology Analysis Toolkit (Elephant, $RRID:SCR_003833,$ http://python-elephant). Elephant acts as the central modular software component that provides generic library functions to perform standard and advanced analysis methods for parallel, multi-scale activity data. We outline how the integration of such workflows into the EBRAINS infrastructure facilitates interdisciplinary, collaborative work including access to high-performance computing. In particular, we demonstrate how such tools form the basis for rigorous approaches to model validation [6].}, month = {May}, date = {2021-05-19}, organization = {NeuroFrance 2021, Online (Online), 19 May 2021 - 21 May 2021}, cin = {INM-6 / INM-10 / IAS-6}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)INM-6-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)INM-10-20170113 / I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-6-20130828}, pnm = {523 - Neuromorphic Computing and Network Dynamics (POF4-523) / 5235 - Digitization of Neuroscience and User-Community Building (POF4-523) / HBP SGA3 - Human Brain Project Specific Grant Agreement 3 (945539) / HAF - Helmholtz Analytics Framework (ZT-I-0003) / HDS LEE - Helmholtz School for Data Science in Life, Earth and Energy (HDS LEE) (HDS-LEE-20190612) / HMC - Helmholz Metadata Collaboration $((DE-HGF)HMC_20200306)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-523 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5235 / G:(EU-Grant)945539 / G:(DE-HGF)ZT-I-0003 / G:(DE-Juel1)HDS-LEE-20190612 / $G:(DE-HGF)HMC_20200306$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)1}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/892654}, }
