AI 中文摘要
神经科学数据集规模不断扩大且结构日益复杂,使得数据集检查成为研究工作流程中一个日益独立的阶段。然而,现有的检查工作流程仍处于碎片化状态,通常依赖探索性脚本、手动文档以及对陌生文件结构的反复导航,才能开始有意义的科学分析。本文提出了NeuroInspector,这是一个轻量级的基于浏览器的环境,用于检查HDF5和NWB文件。NeuroInspector采用基于WebAssembly的HDF5解析(h5wasm),完全在客户端运行:文件直接从本地磁盘打开,且应用程序不设置任何文件上传端点,包括其托管部署版本。该工具将结构导航、元数据检查、采样数据预览和路径级注释整合为可移植的带指纹的“项目包”,这些项目包可保留检查决策而不修改原始文件。NeuroInspector的功能并非作为分析或验证平台,而是为正式分析之前的检查阶段提供一个专用的、可追溯的环境。
英文摘要
The growing scale and structural complexity of neuroscience datasets have made dataset inspection an increasingly distinct stage of the research workflow. Existing inspection workflows, however, remain fragmented, often relying on exploratory scripts, manual documentation, and repeated navigation of unfamiliar file structures before meaningful scientific analysis can begin. Here we present NeuroInspector, a lightweight, browser-based environment for inspecting HDF5 and NWB files. Using WebAssembly-based HDF5 parsing (h5wasm), NeuroInspector runs entirely client-side: files are opened directly from local disk, and the application implements no file-upload endpoint, including in its hosted deployment. The tool combines structural navigation, metadata inspection, sampled data previews, and path-level annotation into portable, fingerprinted "project packs" that preserve inspection decisions without modifying the original file. Rather than functioning as an analysis or validation platform, NeuroInspector provides a dedicated, traceable environment for the inspection stage that precedes formal analysis.
