The Austin Quantified Self Meetup is inspired by the Bay Area Quantified Self Meetup and the Quantified Self blog.

It is a regular show-and-tell for people who are tracking data about their body and conducting their own personal investigations and research into their bodies, minds, and selves.  Anything is game -- from personal genetics to ways to digitize and track information; from how to self-diagnose to how to self-experiment with data and statistics.  

More specific topics include:

• self-experimentation
• using data and statistics to further self-experimentation
• behavior monitoring, tracking, and modification (including studying habit forming and breaking)
• lifelogging, lifecaching, and lifestreaming
• location tracking
• generating, capturing, and working with biometric data
• psychological self-assessments
• medical self-diagnostics and keeping track of one's own medical data
• personal genetics and genome sequencing
