DANDI Archive for NWB datasets

DANDI is a BRAIN Initiative archive for publishing and sharing neurophysiology data, including electrophysiology, optophysiology, and behavioral data packaged as NWB and related standards.

Use DANDI NWB when you need public neurophysiology datasets with standardized metadata, archive search, REST API access, and downstream tooling for NWB files. The strongest fit is electrophysiology or optical physiology reuse where session-level files and metadata need to travel together.

DANDI exposes metadata and asset APIs, while large NWB assets may need archive-aware download or streaming workflows.

DANDI records carry Dandiset metadata, so reuse checks should inspect the specific Dandiset rather than assume one license across the archive.
