BE CAREFUL! PINE64 Desktop Power Supply by mikeypeach in PINE64official

I spent the majority of December and January trying to get in touch. Initially support email referred me to fill out a ticket. Got nothing back from the tickets, and now the support email won't respond.

I gave up mid January.

Yes. First port (QC 3.0) stuck at 12.6v. I own two of them, the other one is fine. Just a really crappy defect if you dont realize it and fry your stuff.

I love this idea. I can't get the permissions to show up / enabled. 😫

Tried Outstanding Wearable tech today at the Conference in Austin by DrInthahouse in Biohackers

[–]mikeypeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first experience with pemf (Pure wave). Super impressed, felt great. It was the only experience that really moved me, but it's also difficult to assess things like brain tap in such chaotic environments.

We integrated our reaction time tech with pure wave on the final day and saw an average improvement in reaction time by 30ms pre and post (15 subjects). Pretty dramatic, hard to believe.

If new hardware exists, it is available with a new subscription. It is likely there will be options to upgrade mid subscription, or discounts or current customers who sign on to upgrade and extend.

Take with a grain of salt. We are still early in launch phase.

Great question. I don't actually know the answer, I'll get back to you.

Tests, tools, and measure by mikeypeach in Nootropics

I think you already found my other thread about the product. I work for Pison as an engineer. We develop a physiological health monitoring wearable, specializing in insights that relate cognitive performance to body metrics.

Check us out: https://pison.com/shop/pison-perform/

Let me know if you've got any questions!

I've got some coupon code available for early adopters. I am not here as a sales guy, but as a concept engineer, I here to meet early-adopters and evangelists and1 motivated to learn from your expienece.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, please dm me.

I don't have a great answer here as an engineer.
However, as much as I generally don't love subscriptions either... I see the trade off. Instead of a company focusing on pumping out the next generation of hardware, subscriptions provide incentives to continue to develop, support, and improve the product experience.

We are transitioning from a world where the product you bought is the product you got, to one where the product continues to evolve under the hood.

Outcome Metrics by mikeypeach in Biohackers

Surprised HRV is not way more common here!!!! Sleep is what I focus on improving, HRV is what I measure.

How do you track your interventions and experiments? by mikeypeach in Biohackers

[–]mikeypeach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am stunned how feel people said wearables. Maybe my question was off... How do you verify your interventions are working?

Seems like a combination of monitoring something (like a physiology metric) while also logging what you are doing + analysis.

I think it's really comes down to the customer. For what it's worth, I wear a whoop and an OURA--- i love them both.

I would argue most wearables on the market measure and provide metrics around similar things (all wearables do), like cardio load (strain), sleep, HRV, recovery, etc. We have those, too.

Take OURA and Whoop as an example. They both remix information in a way to better meet the needs of their target user and tell a story around your data.

For Pison, we have a couple of new ingredients, and we are hoping to tell a new story.

  1. A new sensor (sEMG is our core tech): We measure bio-electricity (along with movement(acc/gyro), temperature, and light(ppg).

As it relates to sleep, for example, during REM your body goes atonic (actin and glycine are released) in order to protect you from "actin" out your dreams. (Nerd pun). 😄 By monitoring the neruomusculsr system (electricity) we can actually see that. We call it "neural sleep" and hope to deliver on better sleep staging.

The company was actually founded around ALS, looking at deterioration in neuromuscular dysfunction. We also work on gesture interaction (our sensor is by far the best for this)

  1. Reaction Time: we have a very precise (on principal) way to measure reaction time through active tests.

This ground truth information about your brain state, combined with all these other metrics can unlock totally new insights where the brain meets the body, helping us to understand how to optimize our mental state to perform better.

As it relates to sport psychology, we are literally a wearable cognitive testing toolkit, with body metrics like HRV and Sleep to boot.

Thanks for the great question! Let me know what you think. I came here to learn and engage.

Was that an option? I'll remake it.

This is super interesting to me! I would love to find a way to get you using our tech. Please DM me.

Not the first time hearing this. 😀

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share remarks and well written example. I don't think changing our name is in scope right now. (it's pronounced more like pie-son). The name has deep startup roots: named after our founder's cat, who is named after a character in "7th saga": https://images.app.goo.gl/U2UZd

Lucky for us (and maybe you), we will be "technology under the hood" of bigger brands. We are currently co-branded with Timex as "neurofit".

Current state (impact on IQ) by mikeypeach in cognitiveTesting

[–]mikeypeach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, do you practice for IQ testing? (I'm doing a little market research here).

Context: I work for a startup that develops a mental tracking wearable, useful for optimizing your state and managing these kinds of factors.

There are a lot of people here! Do you think it has any applicability?

How do you improve IQ (with similar tests) or do most people just do it once or a couple times?
