[Feature] Make CSD coordinates quantities

1

**Feature** Allow `ele_xx`, `ele_yy`, `ele_zz`, `x_lims`, `y_lims` and `z_lims` as function arguments of [`generate_lfp`](https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/blob/c3fd35d478b2b05216ccb3a4e56fd67f9d1e48c6/elephant/current_source_density.py#L204) to be quantity objects. **Motivation** These arguments describe physical properties and should therefore for completeness also...

outdated wiki information

2

In the wiki, e.g. https://github.com/G-Node/nix/wiki/Model-Definition, an old version of the odML library is depicted, that still features `value` objects.

copy behaviour of annotations and object identity

3

Annotations of objects are by default not deepcopied when manipulating an object, e.g. upon slicing of a signal. However, array annotations are explicitly deepcopied (see https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/python-neo/issues/809#issuecomment-619902320), whereas this is not...

Annotation handling when grouping signals

8

This is a follow up of #625. When loading information using the rawio framework, annotations are handled differently depending on the grouping modes of the signals. When splitting signal into...

Make BasefromrawIO context manager

4

Such that all rawio implementation can be used like this: ```python with BlackrockIO('filename') as io: io.read_block() ```

Add utility function for lazy loading

2

Similar to the `time_slice` utilities introduced in #526 it would be nice to be able go from a lazy object structure to a structure containing data e.g. via `block.load(time_slice=(...))` or...

All IOs with writing capability should load data automatically when writing. Current IOs with writing capability are - [ ] AsciiSignalIO - [ ] AsciiSpikeTrainIO - [ ] KlustaKwikIO -...

Handling of `None `as default file location argument

1

When a keyword argument is by default `None`, e.g. for filenames in IOs, then there are multiple options on how to deal with this default value later on. Two common...

Association of spiketrains & analogsignals

6

With the current neo structure, groups can be used to link to `spiketrain`s and `analogsignals`, e.g. to associate data coming from the same recording electrode. However, this association is only...

For file formats that contain information about the relationship between groups representing units this should be reflected in the neo file structure generated when reading the datablock. See also discussion...
