Gamma Mind Enhancement Experiment - Day 3

June 18th, 2007

After Day 3 of the experiment, there was one new physical effect that may or may not be related to the use of the mind enhancement technology.

I used the technology for 30 minutes last night, beginning at 10:05 p.m. and ending at 10:35 p.m. The physical effects during last night's session were similar to what I experienced during the session on Day 1 and Day 2. The same tingling sensation occurred throughout my head. The pulsing sensation around my body also occurred again, at approximately the same level of intensity as the previous night.

The new physical effect occurred after the session, not during the session. It might be unrelated, but it's worth noting just in case it was prompted by the technology. The effects of this type of technology are not limited solely to the thirty minutes you spend using it. Last night while I slept, I felt like I was on the edge of being awake nearly all night. You know that feeling you get just before you wake up in the morning, when your mind is awake but your body hasn't caught up with it yet and is still asleep, and you know if you just give yourself a mental "nudge" your body will wake up fully? That's how the majority of my night was spent. Despite spending less time in very deep sleep, I feel wide awake and alert today, not the least bit tired. But, we'll see how I feel when this afternoon rolls around.

I also had extremely intense dreams again last night. The dreams aren't unpleasant — they're not nightmares, they're just intense. That amounts to three days of experimenting and three nights in a row with unusually intense dreams. This is starting to look like a pattern, but it's still too early to tell if the Gamma technology is the cause.
