Couple of years ago, someone from HN was trying to improve their imagination skills, based on the life of Nikola Tesla. Not sure what happened to that experiment. Anyone knows?
I believe the person doing this was ztratar. If you go to the original post (http://www.zachtratar.com/tesla.html#.VjbLMY9Viko) and look at the comments, you'll see he posted a 1-year update. It sounds like he got good results but found the result not worth the effort. If anyone's interested in potentially continuing with this experiment, please PM me. This is something i'm quite interested in.
