Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon 2018

1. Promoting Neurodata Without Board (NWB) as a standard format for storing and sharing neurophysiology data in general, and extend it to standardize the storage and distribution of fruit fly brain electrophysiology and calcium imaging data,
   
2. Queryable neurophysiology data: organizing neurophysiology data and metadata in a database to make them easily queryable, and developing comprehensive querying tools accordingly,
   
3. Incorporating queried neurophysiology data into computational study.
   

1. create a common language for sharing open neurophysiology data,
   
2. speed up pattern search in the data that can often be tedious and inefficient to do manually,
   
3. drive the creation of computational models and the validation of them using open data.
