"Metadata generated during acquisition captures what data should appear in the final NWB files after processing, as well as what manipulations were performed (both behavioral stimuli and any procedures)."
First, we should not use manipulations in this way. In the schema, manipulations are specifically procedures such as injections or anaesthesia that are done during the experiment. They are NOT the behavior or stimulus. Let's not conflate them.
Second, not all data is in NWB files.
"Metadata generated during acquisition captures how data was acquired. This includes what data streams are being recorded, what stimuli or behaviors are being performed, and any manipulations (procedures) occur during the session. "
