import pynwb
io = pynwb.NWBHDF5IO(path, 'r')
nwb = io.read()
nwb2widget(nwb)

Research direction

Start by locating the session object and reviewing the nwbwidgets nwb2widget example shown in the issue. Determine where a visualize() method belongs and how a behavior ophys session is passed to the widget; done means the method produces a session visualization. No file or test is identified, so the relevant entry point and validation approach need to be established first.
