Description

The current NeuroExplorer can only read the old format and with some limitations. See comments here:

https://github.com/SpikeInterface/spikeinterface/issues/1773#issuecomment-1707859676

We first require support in Neo for the new5 (I am not aware if they added it yet) and then propagate these changes here.

Follow up on this:
#1093

And also linking to upstream needs on:
https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/issues/216

Research direction

Start by reviewing the discussion in issue #1773 and the follow-up issue #1093, then verify whether Neo supports the NeuroExplorer new5 format. Check the related NeuroConv issue #216 for upstream requirements. Done means SpikeInterface can read new5 files after the required upstream support is available.
