Advances in theoretical understanding are frequently unlocked by access to large, diverse experimental datasets. Olfactory neuroscience and psychophysics remain years behind the other senses in part because rich datasets linking olfactory stimuli with their corresponding percepts, behaviors, and neural pathways underlying this transformation, remain scarce. Here we present a concerted effort to unlock and unify dozens of stimulus-linked olfactory datasets across species and modalities under a unified framework called Pyrfume. We present examples of how researchers might use Pyrfume to conduct novel analyses uncovering new principles, introduce trainees to the field, or construct benchmarks for machine olfaction.
