Kernel

Kernel is the brain-measurement company named in Bryan Johnson: I Just Took the Most Powerful Dose of DMT in the World… Here’s What It Was Like. Bryan Johnson says prior psychedelic and ketamine work used Kernel-style measurement before, during, and after intervention, and says the 5-MeO-DMT experiment included structural MRI, functional MRI, Kernel optical-interface data, and real-time EEG.

The page should stay distinct from Kernel Development Agents, which is an AI-infrastructure concept about low-level code optimization. Here Kernel is relevant to Self-Experimentation because it shows Johnson trying to surround subjective experience with instrumentation, while the source still warns that measurement collection is not the same as completed evidence.
