It's loads of data, but it's hard to find out what really makes a big difference. It's also hard to find out what would work on oneself due to lack of objective tests, very strong placebo effect relative to drug effect, and long term most of the drugs need to work.

I love the idea of using the placebo effect for intelligence enhancement. :-)
