It should be noted that just about every [[:Category:Projects|Project]] produced an actionable result for the self tracker (conventional wisdom testing, optimal doses) if not a new idea for humanity as a whole.

It should be noted that just about every [[:Category:Projects|Project]] has produced an actionable result for the individual self tracker (e.g. conventional wisdom testing, finding optimal doses) if not a new idea for humanity as a whole and are important and valid contributions to personal science.

Most talks in [[:Category:Projects|Projects]] focus on a small section of possible variables to track and a few sturdy results. There are the "data dredging" projects which try to track many different aspects of a user and give lots of little advice.

Most talks in [[:Category:Projects|Projects]] focus on a small section of possible variables to track and a few sturdy results, including those above. There are the "data dredging" or "fishing expedition" projects which try to track many different aspects of a person and give lots of little advice and can be very useful for exploratory work.

Examples of these types of projects are:
