Ordered six different nootropics for a thorough study on ourselves. Anything that you'd like to ask?

Hi!
So, I've ordered oxiracetam, pramiracetam, noopept, piracetam, aniracetam, and sunifiram. After performing ^(1)H-NMR, ^(13)C-NMR, and ICP-OES on them and determining that they're pure enough, I'll be trying each one for (hopefully) between 50 and 60 days, but perhaps less (depending on how dosing goes).
A friend of mine has ordered five of six of these (no sunifiram) in the same quantities, and we will be taking them at the same time and comparing experiences.
Ultimately, we will be writing a paper on our experiences.
Are there any particular tests that you request that we do for these? Are there any questions that you'd like to ask now so that we can be aware of the question while the experiment is in progress and can perhaps answer it better?
We're both chemistry graduates (thorough biochemistry and physics backgrounds, too), so if you want to make the questions technical in this nature, by all means do, as that is a major reason for this experiment.
EDIT: So far, we have:
* HPLC, GC-MS, and IR data
* Baseline descriptions
* Method of administration (sublingual, capsules, etc.), with/without meals
* Keep a journal (I'll probably make…

Have your friend placebo blind you, and you do the same to him. Then take the http://www.cambridgebrainsciences.com/ tests each day and monitor your progress by day number. At the end of the trial, have your friend tell you which days were which substance, and correlate the effects.
I assume you bought from Newstar, since they are the only ones that stock all of those substances?
