I am surprised about the existence of the studies claiming cognitive improvement with 100% oxygen. I had a vague memory that this was unhealthy, and from a little googling I came across https://iere.org/what-would-happen-if-we-breathe-100-oxygen-all-the-time/ which send in line with what I remembered. I did not do any checking for accuracy, but you might want to look into oxygen toxicity before you try anything drastic.
That is an excellent warning and I will certainly not do anything crazy. I got SCUBA certified and do vaguely remember learning about oxygen toxicity so it is something to be aware of, although I’m hazy on the details too. Although iirc early astronauts had 100% oxygen atmosphere but at only 20% atmospheric pressure giving the same partial pressure. I don’t think that is the best way to go about this, especially as I think it caused a really horrible fire, but oxygen enrichment is possible to do without toxicity. Still really skeptical of a 30% increase in learning on any task.
