The nootropic alpha brain marketed by Onnit and endorsed by Joe Rogan is very popular, but does it actually work? This video analyzes some of the ingredients of alpha brain and the clinical trials. I also take a bottle of alpha brain myself and report the effects. At 7:07 in the video, I claim that the probability of getting 2 or more tests showing a statistically significant result out of 16 could “easily occur by random chance.” This is correct, and the exact probability is 0.1892 presuming a one-tail target p-value of 0.05 (see this calculator: At 10:00 in the video, I mention that improving by 1 standard deviation would equate to improving from 50th percentile to 68th percentile. This is incorrect. It would actually equate to improving to the 84th percentile.
