The A2 diet is done!

I can’t express to you how excited we are about this!

Subjects have made it through the A2 dosage period and are now being returned to normal diets πŸ™‚
We pushed really hard this last week to get as much data as possible. One of the things we were doing was collecting secondary data to back up the ERG readings. Subjects participated in additional Farnsworth-Munsell tests, Visual Contrast Sensitivity testing, and Snellen testing while wearing a pair of goggles with with infrared goggles for lenses.

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 πŸ™‚

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 πŸ™‚

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!
