abstract = {The analysis of electrophysiology data typically comprises
multiple steps. These often consist of several scripts
executed in a specific temporal order, which take different
parameter sets and use distinct data files. As the
researcher adjusts the individual analysis steps to
accommodate new hypotheses or additional data, the resulting
workflows may become increasingly complex, and undergo
frequent changes. Although it is possible to use workflow
management systems to organize the execution of the scripts
and capture provenance information at the level of the
script (i.e., which script file was executed, and in which
environment?) and data file (i.e., which input and output
files were supplied to that script), the resulting
provenance track does not automatically provide details
about the actual analysis carried out inside each script.
Therefore, the final analysis results can only be understood
by source code inspection or reliance in any accompanying
documentation. We focus on two open-source tools for the
analysis of electrophysiology data developed in EBRAINS. The
Neo $(RRID:SCR_000634)$ framework provides an object model
to standardize neural activity data acquired from distinct
sources. Elephant $(RRID:SCR_003833)$ is a Python toolbox
that provides several functions for the analysis of
electrophysiology data. We set to improve these tools by
implementing a data model that captures detailed provenance
information and by representing the analysis results in a
systematic and formalized manner. Ultimately, these
developments aim to improve reproducibility,
interoperability, findability, and re-use of analysis
results.},
