And when does it read out?
It will be done.
I think some preliminary data should be coming out within the next year.
And if people do get a benefit from it and they're in the sham group, or if they're in the hyperbaric group, they're going to give them access to that.
Yeah.
So it's going to become like a treatment center.
I was not actively involved in the initiation of that, maybe because I study the negative effects of hyperbaric, but I've been like peripherally involved of it.
And I saw I've been inspired by the work that they're doing and the level of scientific rigor that they're using to approach this question of the potential neuroregenerative and cognitive, even mental health effects of hyperbaric oxygen, which have been reported anecdotally, but have not been systematically studied in this rigorous way.
So that project is ongoing right now.
In addition to that, I've reviewed some papers that will be coming out and some work that has been done to suggest that if you had traumatic brain injury years ago and you go into chambers and you use a rigorous method, the only thing is they did not have a sham control.
They did not have a control.
It's hard to do a control, but they've figured out a way to do it at USF.
And they have a person that comes in to question the person and figure out if they're lying or not about the control.
Like, did you experience it?
And basically all the subjects that are getting the sham have no idea if they got a sham or treatment.
No experiment, no protocol.
Have never done that before.
And just the sheer amount of people that are going to be treated.
And you're not managing epilepsy or anything like that.
Yeah, you got benefits.
