intern

intern (Integrated Toolkit for Extensible and Reproducible Neuroscience) is a Python 2/3 module that enables big-data neuroscience. Currently, it provides an interface to the Boss API, and in the future may provide interfaces to other neuroscience databases.

intern is inspired by the NeuroData ndio package:
