I am planning a "Dictionary of Self-Experimenters." I therefore appeal to any reader who has performed any kind of experiments on himself or herself. I also seek information about any kind of self-experiments performed by readers' colleagues in the past.
Data and results of all kinds from self-experiments should not disappear from the face of the Earth. Every one of those experiments is unique, and the results may benefit humanity in the future. A great example is Werner Forssmann, who in 1929 inserted a catheter into his heart by himself. Many self-experiments have led to the disappearance of a great number of dangerous infectious diseases.
I need the following information:
- short biographical data;
- the nature and outcome of the experiment; and
- bibliographical information- publications by or about the experimenter.
I would also greatly appreciate feedback from anybody who responds to my request.
