allensdk.brain_observatory.nwb.nwb_utils.get_column_name(table_cols: list, possible_names: set) → str

This function returns a column name, given a table with unknown column names and a set of possible column names which are expected. The table column name returned should be the only name contained in the “expected” possible names. :param table_cols: the table columns to search for the possible name within :param possible_names: the names that could exist within the data columns :return: the first entry of the intersection between the possible names

and the names of the columns of the stimulus table
