I am currently testing Heartmath's Emwave2 against my stress levels and quantifying it's ability to lower stress. I discuss this device in Reduce Your Stress and Live the Good Life, Part II - Meditation for the Rest of Us
The Zeo personal sleep monitor has been a really cool experiment for me - basically I am diving into one of the most important, yet most unknown subjects in human health and performance. The results so far have been shocking, so stay tuned for a Course post on this topic.
As part of my sleep experiment, I am using Earthing, which is a fascinating subject. A post to The Course is DEFINITELY forthcoming, especially with relevance to how this technology can be used very effectively on long adventures like bike tours.

I am currently running a test on my cognitive function after consuming the Bulletproof Executive's Upgraded Coffee verses a number of other local, organic, etc. etc. brands of coffee. You will definitely want to see the results from this!
I am testing out the PowerLung as part of my meditation practice and my ultra-endurance bike race training.

Tim Ferriss is the original self-experimenter, and the Four Hour Body is a must-read for anyone interested in becoming a self-experimenter.
Upgraded Chef is by Dave Asprey, the current world-leading citizen scientist / biohacker. The book is a must-have for anyone wanting to learn a cooking method that results in the lowest effort, cleanest food, and highest performance.
Wired for Story applies principles of brain science to writing - fairly obvious suggestions lead to a much more consciously designed story.
Listen to a preview of Becoming a Supple Leopard on the Bulletproof Podcast with K.Star. You will want this book.
The Better Baby Book is for a Hell of a lot more people than just those looking to have a baby. Amazing content.

I don't mean to recommend a second Tim Ferriss book, but it is just SO GOOD.
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is necessary for any writer - it's not just for artists. It is excellent for helping to boost your ability to get into the creative mindset and write like a champ. So is Yerba Mate.
The Vegetarian Myth should be read cautiously by everyone in the world. Yes, some of the arguments are extreme, but we need to be actively having discussions about the ideas discussed in this book on a large scale. Our health and environment depend on it. Read this book with a constructive skepticism and an open mind.
Man 2.0 is something I am experimenting with in the wake of messing up my hormones in a fairly extreme diet experiment.
Rich Roll is an all around awesome dude with an amazing and inspiring story - Finding Ultra.
