For data, my favourite is DANDI (about.dandiarchive.org), since if it's on there it should be well organized / formatted. Similarly, Github for code.
Otherwise, this is mostly about human data - but lists several sources with neurophys too:

As always, I tried to make this project as open as possible - code & literature data is all included here if you want to look at additional details, etc!

Based on this high level overview of lots of interesting & exciting work, I also tried to integrate the discussion points and findings thus far to create a set of suggested recommendations for future work studying aperiodic activity in clinical populations. Hopefully this is useful for future work!

I also discuss motivations for studying aperiodic activity, including as a potential biomarker & the oft discussed putative interpretation of the exponent as a marker of E/I balance. While this is an exciting possibility, I also urge some caution based on this review & other recent empirical work:

It turns out there is a lot of current research on this, across quite a range of disorders with lots of reported links between clinical disorders and aperiodic activity - but also quite a bit of variability in the findings and overlapping discussion points that this review explores and discusses.

Oh wow, sounds like I need to go and find out what the Alaska secret recipe is!

I would love to know what the Michigan secret is in "Michigan Fried Chicken".
Also special shout out to "Havana Burgers & Shakes" for trying a different naming scheme at least...

Also - the updated inclusion range goes to reports available as a preprint or in a journal by Dec 31st, 2024. The review has a broad scope across basically all clinical investigations - I searched a lot to find everything, but if you think I missed anything let me know & I will try to add it!

I was going to link to a previous thread on this but apparently I didn't share it on bsky (oops) so I'll just add a) I think / hope it's a useful review & discussion of a rapidly expanding area of work and b) code & materials (including literature data) available here:
