Robert Whitfield MD used a commercial EEG device on himself to explore brain fog and memory loss. Though the readings weren't conclusive, his symptoms improved noticeably. He frames it as personal experimentation, not formal research.

And it would get better. I think part of the problem was we had a device that was not a research device. It was more of a commercially available device. Nonetheless, it's very expensive and we checked it because I was very curious about brain fog and memory loss. And what did this mean? Was it something we could measure? You couldn't measure it and show the activity was lower. So that's important. It did get better. Such a big number that we could go, oh, my gosh, if you do this, you'll get this much improvement. I mean, I would always be happy to say that I was probably the only plastic surgeon in the United States who had their own EEG and was doing EEGs all the time. Hilarious. But those things always, you know, I was curious about that. What, you know, what was brain fog in each situation because the first time I heard it, I didn't understand it.
