I work from the same office as John; and the location also happens to have dozens of LessWrong readers work there on a regular basis. We could probably set up an experiment here with many willing volunteers; and I’m interested in helping to make it happen (if it continues to seem promising after thinking more about it).
I’m in SF right now and 6 friends (3 control, 3 intervention) are doing a self-experiment on a version of this stuff with me.
What I’d say is:
a) Wait until March 13/14th when I will have the data, that way it’s not a waste
b) If you think it’s a success (I can just give you the raw data and you can run your own analysis) and you have 6 or more people that want to part-take (split control/intervention, ideally—the controls can just go after) -- I can come over for a few days and help you set up + lend some of my hardware (I’m currently working on a NIR stimulation system that uses an EEG for feedback) | If you’re not in the bay I might be able to set up a remote version
I’m not making a hard commitment here since this whole experiment started as part of a broader neurotech I’m running (not for increasing IQ, but rather for preventing cognitive decline in young adults, however it’s fun to play with stuff like IQ while I don’t have a full neuroscience lab /w me) -- which is to say my schedule is what you’d expect from doing an early stage startup, minced—but it would be awesome to try.
Feel free to email me (george3d6@gmail.com is what I use nowadays) and cc whoever may be interested, but I’d rather hype things up (or drop them) once I have the extra data.
Can you CC me too?

Is this in the bay?
