So tell me more about those magnets…

If you have been within talking distance of us, or if you ever swing by the biohack.me boards, you have heard about some of our other projects. Notably, at this point, the development of the m31 magnet that we are releasing through Dangerous Things

m31-adjusted

This lil’ guy, sitting at 1x3mm in dimension and maintaining its powerful N52 rating, is something that we have put a lot of time and effort into prototyping. It has been ok’d by the Association of Proffesional Piercers and is the first magnet specifically designed from the ground up to be implanted in the body. We’re pretty pleased.

A thank you and a reminder

Thanks for making us the most viewed lab note on experiment.com by an order of magnitude.

Don’t forget though, there are a pile of really cool and interesting projects here and you should check them out 🙂

Science needs support now, more than ever. Even if you are just swinging by to read a quick post here, pop on over to Experiment and see if there is something that strikes your fancy.

Our Response to a Neuroscientist’s Rebuttal

A rather interesting rebuttal to our current project was recently printed on Petapixel.

Our response to this rebuttal is as follows:

For those who want more data! We salute you!

Wow, what a crazy week!

We were lucky enough to have a backer post our blog update on Reddit. I hear that the people swooped in and crashed the experiment.com website for a sec 🙂

Better yet, getting exposed to a very skeptical audience allowed us to hear more about what you guys want to see next. And that’s more data! Control data! Charts with labels!

We apologize for that. We got really excited and posted a screenshot. We didn’t realize how much people would get excited and want more so soon!

Initial Success!

Hi everyone! We have results!

2 weeks into the A2 administration and we have ERG readings with excitation in the eye at 950nm 🙂 This is really exciting news. We’re hoping that by the next few weeks, we will move even further into the NIR.

I’ll attach a sampling of the data here and discuss what we are seeing. I realize that the info is pretty noisy, but a lot of that has to do with the device being so sensitive that it reads even the slightest movement of the eye as well as the flashes of the LEDs. We are working on setting up an appointment with an ophthalmologist by the end of the study so that we can get at least a few nice, professional looking readings.
