from_dataframe

Convert pandas DataFrames into canonical DataArrays.

Example

spikes = from_dataframe(units_df, trials_df, window=(-0.5, 1.0))

Inputs

• units_df: one row per unit, with a spike_times column.

• trials_df: one row per trial, with start_time and end_time.

• Optional trial metadata columns become coordinates.

Common patterns

Events only:

events = from_dataframe(trials_df)

Session-only spikes:

spikes = from_dataframe(units_df)
