Mental Cognition Tracking Guide
Of all the aspects of the human body, the brain is arguably the most important and least understood. While researchers and scientists have made great strides in the past decades, self-tracking your cognitive abilities as they change throughout the day and through variable manipulation can teach you a lot about yourself.
Maintaining the best practices to optimize your cognition can have profound impacts for your professional and personal lives. Clarity of thought, focus, attention, and memory are all aspects most people wish they had more of. If you plan on using nootropics to manipulate these variables, self tracking is the best way to check results.
By using a wide variety of cognitive assessment tasks, biohackers can better understand which practices improve cognitive abilities.
