Can the OSB NWB viewer be used to visualize LFP? #292

Here's some example LFP data generated in NetPyNE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qAfiOHMME6ICgHei_UIX99oHiARL_jMP?usp=sharing

The NetPyNE output is in v56_batch23_0_0_0_0.pkl inside ['simData']['LFP']. It is a 2D matrix since the LFP has multiple channels.

The gdrive folder also includes the LFP saved to Matlab format. There is a README describing the data and files.

Certainly we can already show the timeseries, we only need to think about how we want to describe these timeseries in a nwb file. For instance, timeseries could be added as separate acquisitions and would be displayed by nwb explorer without modifications, but that would not match the standard.

Better would be to use the specific LFP object: https://pynwb.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/domain/ecephys.html#lfp.

My suggestion would be to start creating some nwb files from those timeseries: a perfect job for a OSBv2 jupyterlab workspace!
