Piracetam and other "nootropics" are worth checking out.
Piracetam supposedly helps with memory and cognition by increasing blood flow to the brain or something... I got some to play around with and will let you guys know if anything interesting happens.
Thanks for the info.
I was planning on trying it without the choline first to see if it was really needed.
Any ideas on how to actually test performance?
Seth Roberts tracked the influence of omega-3 on brain function via arithmetic tests in R:

It's a little hard to distinguish the benefit from practice and the benefit from omega-3, so ideally you'd alternate periods of supplement and no supplement.
Also, ideally you wouldn't know when you were getting omega-3 and when you were getting a placebo during the course of the experiment.
