I know there are data repositories like Dandi for ephys, but are there known repositories for behavioral studies? Like where people put trial-wise behavior for individual subjects?

My new piece in Nature Human Behavior: "We need to fight for the next generation of US researchers"
All trainees need 3 things to thrive. In the US, those things have been ripped away. Let's brainstorm and fight to get them back.

Alzheimer's research funding is in the DOGE crosshairs, putting invaluable datasets (including tens of thousands of genomes) and biorepositories at risk. This reflects the volunteer efforts of thousands of research participants over four decades. Please contact your reps/senators. Hands off NIH.
"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Compared to neuroscience, the data situation in remote sensing/geospatial work is pretty cool
“From 1972 to 2008, no more than 3000 Landsat images were ever sold in a given month. … Nearly one million images were downloaded in 2009, the first full year of free and open access.”
