Experiment Directory Layout

The Experiment Directory Layout (EDL) is a specification for a storage layout for data from scientific experiments, with primary focus on neuroscientific data. It was originally developed for the Syntalos DAQ system, but can be used elsewhere.

These pages document both the format itself, as well as Python API to easily read any data contained in an EDL directory structure.
