Missing Sessions Analysis Metrics csv files in Neuropixels Visual Coding dataset

When running the Optotagging Analysis code for the ecephys Neuropixels Visual Coding dataset, as shown in ecephys_optotagging, I run into an error when aligning spikes to light pulses by creating a DataArray. The following block of code returns an error:

trials = session.optogenetic_stimulation_epochs[(session.optogenetic_stimulation_epochs.duration > 0.009) &
(session.optogenetic_stimulation_epochs.duration < 0.02)]

units = session.units[session.units.ecephys_structure_acronym.str.match(‘VIS’)]

time_resolution = 0.0005 # 0.5 ms bins

bin_edges = np.arange(-0.01, 0.025, time_resolution)

def optotagging_spike_counts(bin_edges, trials, units):

time_resolution = np.mean(np.diff(bin_edges))

spike_matrix = np.zeros( (len(trials), len(bin_edges), len(units)) )

for unit_idx, unit_id in enumerate(units.index.values):

    spike_times = session.spike_times[unit_id]

    for trial_idx, trial_start in enumerate(trials.start_time.values):

        in_range = (spike_times > (trial_start + bin_edges[0])) * \
                   (spike_times < (trial_start + bin_edges[-1]))

        binned_times = ((spike_times[in_range] - (trial_start + bin_edges[0])) / time_resolution).astype('int')
        spike_matrix[trial_idx, binned_times, unit_idx] = 1

return xr.DataArray(
    name='spike_counts',
    data=spike_matrix,
    coords={
        'trial_id': trials.index.values,
        'time_relative_to_stimulus_onset': bin_edges,
        'unit_id': units.index.values
    },
    dims=['trial_id', 'time_relative_to_stimulus_onset', 'unit_id']
)

da = optotagging_spike_counts(bin_edges, trials, units)

The code above returns the following error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘/overflow/NSCI274/projects/ecephysdata/session_829720705/session_829720705_analysis_metrics.csv’

When I looked through my ecephys data folder that was downloaded from the Allen Institute, none of the session folders contained a session analysis metrics csv file. My session folders only contain an nwb file. How can I download the session analysis metrics csv files and/or gain permission to access them?

It doesn’t look like there’s anything in your code that should depend on such a file. Which line is triggering the error?
