Creates an experiment object which will contain all data and metadata.
This object will be saved and timestamped by date, so if working with this file over
different dates, the object will not be overwritten as a new object will be created
(to preserve backups).
Usage
create_experiment(experiment_name)
Arguments
- experiment_name
The name of the experiment
Value
A list object containing statistics and metadata for the entire experiment.
The `groups` and `experimenters` field will auto-populate based on added data using
the `update_experiment()` function.
