@wiser is participating in study SA1 (Immune cascade effects on emotional state) which is attempting to determine what role the inflammation cascade and the immune system may play in mood and depression.
She is in sa1g0 meaning that she is in the control group.
Primarily she's just blogging about the minutia of her day and especially detailing what she's eating and how she feels about any interactions that she feels were notable.
She's not supposed to change anything about her normal routine, and she's not supposed to take any anti-inflammatory medicines etc.
Her blog allows her to do this free form rather than taking a survey each day.
At the end of the study we will use Apache cTakes to extract information from her notes and then use that to help build a profile for further analysis.
There are other groups as well but thus far, she has been the most diligent in participation.

Ah i was wondering about that special tag category. There was a man decades ago who wrote down every detail of his life every day for like 20 years or something.
He even recorded his feeling when he could not get his can opener to work properly. This written archive was officially preserved somewhere, I just forget the details; but I will search later.
I always try and upvote things I like or things I feel make some sort of qualitative difference : )
/ hugs ; )
Think about it; what is it about recording five years of your life, nothing compared to 25 years ! ! !

I'm hardly writing down everything about my life. Here, just sticking to what's relevant for the experiment. What I eat and how I feel (well, mainly when the feelings are strong one way or another).
Which is perfect and the actual point :D
Thanks for answering this, @williambanks :)
