Subject: IQ & Narcosis - hypobaric O2?
To: techdiver@terra.net

All this talk of N2 and narcosis. 

Have any hypobaric studies been done (breathing pure O2 at 0.21 bar) to see if 
our IQ - or whatever parameter of brain function you choose :) - IMPROVES in the
ABSENCE of any N2 in our inspired air?

This is not quite the same as breathing normobaric 100% O2 as the extra O2 may 
give confounding effects.
