Add stimulus_template to IntracellularStimuliTable

iawbrooks commented 1 year ago

Summary of changes

Added the optional stimulus_template column to IntracellularStimuliTable. The purpose of this column is to store stimulus template waveforms, i.e. waveforms that were not recorded, but were defined as protocols in the recording software. From the perspective of writing analysis tools, it is much easier to analyze recordings if this noiseless version of the stimulus is available.

For all schema changes:

[x] Add release notes for the PR to docs/format/source/format_release_notes.rst.

If this is the first schema change after a schema release (i.e., the version string in core/nwb.namespace.yaml does not end in "-alpha"), then:

[ ] Update the version string in core/nwb.namespace.yaml and core/nwb.file.yaml to the next major/minor/patch version with the suffix "-alpha". For example, if the current version is 2.4.0 and this is a minor change, then the new version string should be "2.5.0-alpha".
[ ] Update the value of the version variable in docs/format/source/conf.py to the next version without the suffix "-alpha", e.g., "2.5.0".
[ ] Update the value of the release variable in docs/format/source/conf.py to the next version with the suffix "-alpha", e.g., "2.5.0-alpha".
[ ] Add a new section in the release notes docs/format/source/format_release_notes.rst for the new version with the date "Upcoming" in parentheses.

@stephprince does this PR require updating the version of the namespace or is that already done on the main branch?

stephprince commented 10 months ago

the namespace version is already updated to 2.7.0-alpha on the main branch so should be ok
