Thanks for the interest in the study (I'm the first author/experimental subject). I seem to have survived with no lasting effects - at least small pieces of me

Thanks for the interest in the study (I'm the first author/experimental subject). I seem to have survived with no lasting effects - at least small pieces of metal are no longer clinging to me :-)

Thank you for doing the study (especially the self-tracking drudge work) and for publishing both the raw data and the analysis code.

Terrific work! Not presently having time to read the entire paper, I am curious: did you find much of interest in the metabolomic and/or genomic data? Or did MRI prove most fruitful. Also, did you obtain any MRS data?

  no MRS data, alas. there is a lot of interesting stuff in the metabolic and RNA-seq data. metabolomics was mostly related to food and sleep, whereas gene expression was related to psoriasis severity and brain connectivity. Hard to know what to make of all of the relations but they definitely tell us that there is some interesting stuff in there.

This is awesome, would be great to see you speak at one of the Quantified Self meetups in SF! - http://www.meetup.com/quantifiedself/ http://www.meetup.com/quantifiedself/

  would be happy to - I talked about it a few years ago at a QS meetup in Austin when we were just starting

    cool - I'll do some work with the leaders of the SF meetup to see if we can coordinate and be in touch!

You may be the most MRI'd person ever. If nothing else that's pretty neat!

  other people have definitely spent more time in a scanner than I have - what's different about this study is how systematic we were, and all of the other things we recorded

How neat! Thanks for posting. I've been doing some long term EEG use, but can only dream of that kind of fMRI access. Trying to get a PhD thesis off my back, but when that's done I look forward to playing with your data!!
