One of my favorite websites, Boing Boing, links to what sounds to be an amazing article about folks they call “self-experimenters.”

Apparently they profile many people including the very interesting folks/experiments below:

“¢ Kevin Warwick wired his nervous system into the Internet and his wife; now he’s out to become one with The Matrix

“¢ Morgan Spurlock turned an extreme Big Mac Attack into a public health wake-up call

“¢ Stephen Hoffman has given years of sweat”and lots of blood”on his quest to stop a global killer

“¢ Olivier Ameisen had tried everything to dry out; then he heard about baclofen

“¢ Deb Roy and his family are risking their privacy so that someday computers might understand human speech

“¢ Seth Roberts says the key to self-help lies in the scientific method

“¢ Sasha Giedd would have been the only girl in high school with a time-lapse movie of her developing brain, if not for a change in the rules

“¢ Alexander Shulgin endured a government crackdown and bone-melting hallucinations in pursuit of new mind-bending compounds [BOING BOING]
