Large fluctuations, which I attribute to what I call restoration of Eden effect: no jackhammers or drum sessions or loud music on my best sessions but it seems some distractions present on my worst.

Overall, I am pleased with this sessions and even consider the wild swings indicating some sort of brain changes going on.

Recommended book for all BFP people to read if you get the chance:

Memory: From Mind to Molecules.
-Eric Kandel
-Larry Squire

Provides both a good general overview of memory processes along with everything one needs to know about things like how post-synaptic receptors work: none of this is not laid out in lay language so be prepared for a blaze of terminology and following byzantine processes to grasp the chemical processes that goes on in our brain.

With this sort of book, Wikepedia seems like a good secondary resource for basic chemistry terminology one may have never learned or forgotten from high school such as a 2nd messenger cAMP, etc. While I had a grasp of action potentials and how synaptic transmission worked, this book has taken what I already know into a much deeper realm.
