Advanced Recording Format for physiology and behavior

The Advanced Recording Format ARF is an open standard for storing data from neuronal, acoustic, and behavioral experiments in a portable, high-performance, archival format. The goal is to enable labs to share data and tools, and to allow data to be accessed and analyzed for many years in the future. ARF is built on the the HDF5 format, and all arf files are accessible through standard HDF5 tools, including interfaces to HDF5 written for other languages (e.g. MATLAB, Python, etc). ARF comprises a set of specifications on how different kinds of data are stored.
