 ## Bug Fixes
 * `run_conversion` does not longer trigger append mode an index error when `nwbfile_path` points to a faulty file [PR #1180](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1180)
+* `OpenEphysBinaryRecordingInterface` no longer stores analog data as an `ElectricalSeries` [PR #1179](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1179)
 * `DatasetIOConfiguration` now recommends `chunk_shape = (len(candidate_dataset),)` for datasets with compound dtypes,
 as used by hdmf >= 3.14.6.
