I'm planning on running an experiement to test the effects of Modafinil on myself. My plan is to use a three armed study:
Each day I will randomly take one of the three options and perform some test. I was thinking of dual-n-back, but do people have any other suggestions?
Keep in mind that modafinil has a half-life of ~16 hours. You might want to allow a day in between samples. If you don't, plan to take this into account in the analysis.
Whatever test you do, try it a bunch before starting the experiment to get through a lot of the learning period.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
