New Oxygen Mask Cuts Mental Toil
MINNEAPOLIS Sept 8 A new oxygen mask shaped like a towel tied over the mouth protects mental workers from fatigue in brain work. Arthur G Bills of the University of Cincinnati describes a mix of about 50 percent oxygen with air delivered to the breather. The device reportedly halves the pauses per minute during thinking, supporting the theory that brain fatigue stems from insufficient brain oxygen rather than mere tiredness. Faster breathing can help but not as effectively as pure oxygen, Bills notes.
