Example

Consider an empty study:

>>> fMRI = db.study(StudyDescription='fMRI', StudyDate='20230203')
>>> fMRI.print()
---------- STUDY ---------------
Study fMRI [20230203]
--------------------------------

Create two new series in the study:

>>> rstate = fMRI.new_child(SeriesDescription='Resting state')
>>> ftap = fMRI.new_child(SeriesDescription='Finger tap')
>>> fMRI.print()
---------- STUDY ---------------
Study fMRI [20230203]
    Series 001 [Resting state]
        Nr of instances: 0
    Series 002 [Finger tap]
        Nr of instances: 0
--------------------------------

Note the same result could also be obtained by calling new_series() on the study.
