Where can I learn more about neurohacking - are there communities or tools?
There are growing pockets around the world interested in learning more about their brains and cognition in self-driven ways. You may have heard of the Quantified Self, Maker Movement, Hacker movements, DIY, project-based learning? If not, check out these links to start your learning process.
Inspirations and examples of projects from around the world:
