92% oxygen, ordinary pressure.
On a short working-memory task, accuracy was higher while people breathed 92% oxygen at ordinary air pressure.
Accuracy moved from 93.2% to 97.1%.
Fourteen adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities pressed a button when a set number appeared. Accuracy was 93.2% while they breathed 21% oxygen and 97.1% while they breathed 92% oxygen (P = 0.050). Response time did not change in a statistically significant way.
The numbers on this page come from Kim et al., Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2015 [1]. Oxygen was supplied at 5 L/min through a mask at ordinary air pressure. That is not a pressurised HBOT cocoon® session. Boost Oxygen is portable recreational oxygen, not USP medical or prescription oxygen. The study used research equipment, not a Boost canister.
