QS Show&Tell #8 Tonight! (Monday)

Gary Wolf

At the last QS Show&Tell, long time QS participant Paul Sas made an important critical comment about self-tracking. He said that he noticed a lot of "write once/read never" projects. Data collection: is it an end in itself? Or do you want to do something useful and interesting with your data? This is the theme for Monday's talks.

For this meeting, we return to the spacious, comfortable, and conveniently located offices of our generous friends at the Institute for the Future in downtown Palo Alto. IFTF is a few steps from the Caltrain stop, across from the main entrance to the Stanford campus. For full details, check out our Quantified Self MeetUp page. 

As usual, we will have a social hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., start the talks promptly at 7, and end by 9.

Gary — I’m not sure where you wanted me to post this, but here’s the information on the “expanding fluid intelligence via working memory” study:

Some further information I collected on it, including follow-on research and various implementations:
