In the piracetam post you mentioned some controlled studies -- I'm not sure if I would blindly trust the results as applied to me, but I'd certainly be interested in the methodology. Got any links?

(I'd be much more inclined to experiment with these on myself if I could do actual experiments.)

Is there anything wrong with Wikipedia'ing it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracetam

Nope, nothing wrong, Wikipedia has a rather overflowing wealth of information. I was just wondering if JRH had any specific references that struck him as very interesting, or if he had any particular techniques to measure his own performance.
