I’ve become particularly impressed with AI and especially one called Poe (and its bot assistants). This is an edited definition* of one this AI-powered chatbot churned out in a matter of seconds:
An "experiment of one" refers to a type of experimental design where an individual serves as both the subject and the experimenter. In this type of experiment, the individual tests a hypothesis or investigates a research question by manipulating variables and observing the outcomes on themselves. It is a self-experimentation approach that allows individuals to gather data and draw conclusions based on their own experiences.
Examples of Experiment of One:
1. Personal Health and Lifestyle: An individual may conduct an experiment of one to test the effects of different diets, exercise routines, or sleep patterns on their own health and well-being.
2. Cognitive Performance: Someone might investigate the impact of various study techniques, memory strategies, or environmental factors on their own cognitive performance through an experiment of one.
3. Productivity and Time Management: An individual may experiment with different productivity techniques, work schedules, or task prioritization methods to optimize their own productivity and time management skills.
*************
I can't do better than that, but I will add that this is sometimes abbreviated as "n=1" or "n of 1."
*Only edited for length — the original was too long for Urban Dictionary’s space parameters.

Get the Experimentalistic mug.The overarching bias that privileges the experimental method itself as the sole arbiter of truth. It assumes that if you cannot isolate, manipulate, and measure a phenomenon in an experiment, it is not a legitimate object of knowledge. This renders history, ethics, love, and justice mere matters of opinion.
Example: Dismissing the concept of systemic racism because "you can't run a controlled experiment on society." Experiment bias confuses one powerful tool for knowledge with the definition of knowledge itself, rendering most of human experience allegedly unknowable.
