The Quantified Brain may be the ne plus ultra of QSing. Only a neuroscientist on a Mission from God (and a really good insurance plan) would be getting twice-weekly MRIs and weekly blood tests for hormonal and gene activity levels.

Example: his psoriasis flareups with increases in stress and changes in gene activity. Finally a bit of QSing that doesn’t have a hint of the faddish about it.
