title: The effect of oxygen administration on visuospatial cognitive performance: time course data analysis of fMRI.
abstract: This study investigated the effects of 30% oxygen administration on visuospatial cognitive ability using time course data analysis of fMRI. A visuospatial task was presented while brain images were scanned by a 3T MRI system. The results showed that there was an improvement in performance and also increased BOLD intensity in the parietal lobe in the higher oxygen condition. There was positive relation between behavior performance and BOLD intensity in the right parietal lobe. This result supports the conclusion that the increase in the cognitive processing ability due to highly concentrated oxygen can be explained by the increase in the BOLD intensity.
