Add DandiHub edition of read NWB file tutorial

Open vijayiyer05 opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Minimally modified read_demo tutorial that 1) uses dandi Python package for download and 2) bypasses MatNWB install.

Motivation

The original tutorial delayed getting to the science with initial sections focused on downloading the data and installing MatNWB. In the DandiHub configured environment, the former can be streamlined (by using the pre-installed dandi Python package) and the latter can be skipped (since MatNWB is pre-instlalled).

How to test the behavior?


1. Select the MATLAB image for the Base server option on DandiHub. 
2. Supply MathWorks credentials if prompted (not needed every time)
3. When the launcher appears, select the MATLAB desktop option
4. Open this live script (in the MatNWB tutorials folder) and select Run (▶️button) from the Live Editor tab in the desktop ribbon

The live script should run through and generate the same outpus as in the saved live script. The downloaded data should appear in the dandisets\000004 folder and is ~70MB in size.
