Concussion Recovery in 2 Days: The CNSVS Neurological Panel Results
A concussion subject at the ACIM conference completed CNSVS cognitive testing before and after two days of LiveO2 training. Eight neurological categories were measured. All eight improved.

The Experiment Setup
This experiment was conducted at the ACIM conference with a subject named Lillian, who had suffered a concussion in a car accident. The design was straightforward: standardized cognitive testing before training, two days of LiveO2 sessions, then standardized testing again the following day.
The CNSVS (Computerized Neurocognitive Test Battery) is a validated neurological assessment tool used to measure cognitive performance across multiple domains. It is the same type of testing used in sports concussion protocols.
Experiment Protocol
1
CNSVS before test — baseline cognitive performance recorded
2
Video interview — subjective symptoms documented
3
LiveO2 training — first day of conference
4
LiveO2 training — second day of conference
5
Video interview — post-training symptoms documented
6
CNSVS after test — next-day cognitive performance measured
The Results
The next-day neurological panel showed improvement across all eight measured categories. The experiment shows partial recovery and an approximately 13–29% increase in next-day cognitive performance, attributed to improved oxygen and energy production in the brain.

These are partial recovery numbers — not full restoration to pre-concussion baseline. But 13–29% improvement across eight categories in two days, measured by validated neurological testing, is a significant signal.
Why Oxygen Accelerates Concussion Recovery
A concussion doesn’t simply “damage” the brain. It disrupts the normal blood-brain circulation, creating a hypoxic cascade — brain cells starved of oxygen and glucose enter a dormant state rather than dying outright.
Standard concussion recovery protocol is rest and time. The theory: the brain needs to heal on its own. The problem: passive rest doesn’t address the underlying oxygen deficit.
The Active Recovery Mechanism
LiveO2 training drives large volumes of oxygenated blood into the brain during and immediately after cardiovascular exercise. When that blood reaches hypoxic brain tissue, dormant cells can switch back on — sometimes within a single session.
This is why the CNSVS results improved across every measured category, not just one or two. The oxygen deficit affected the whole system. Restoring oxygen improved the whole system.
The 13–29% gains reflect partial recovery because full recovery would require either more sessions or more time — but the direction and magnitude of the change in just two days shows how rapidly the brain responds when given what it needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
CNSVS (Computerized Neurocognitive Test Battery) is a validated neurocognitive assessment tool used to measure brain performance across multiple domains — including reaction time, processing speed, memory, and executive function. It’s used in sports medicine concussion protocols, academic research, and clinical settings. Using CNSVS in this experiment means the results are based on the same kind of standardized measurement used in professional sports concussion management.
The subject was a woman named Lillian who had sustained a concussion in a car accident. The experiment was conducted at the ACIM conference, where she completed CNSVS testing, two days of LiveO2 training, and then a follow-up CNSVS test the next day. No other details about the severity or timing of the concussion relative to the experiment are documented in this case study.
Eight cognitive domains were measured. All eight improved. Reaction time improved by 20–29% across two measures. Complex attention, processing speed, executive function, and cognitive flexibility all improved 20–23%. Reasoning improved 14% and motor speed improved 13%. Overall, the experiment showed partial recovery and approximately 13–29% increase in next-day cognitive performance.
Concussion disrupts blood-brain circulation, creating a hypoxic cascade where brain cells enter a dormant state rather than dying. Standard recovery relies on passive rest. Oxygen training takes an active approach: driving oxygenated blood into hypoxic brain tissue during cardiovascular exercise. Dormant cells can switch back on when they receive adequate oxygen. This explains why improvements appear across multiple cognitive domains — the oxygen deficit was system-wide, and so was the recovery.
Full recovery would require the subject’s CNSVS scores to return to her pre-concussion baseline. Two days of training produced meaningful improvement but not complete restoration. Full recovery would likely require additional sessions over a longer period. The term “partial recovery” is used to accurately represent the results without overstating the outcome — and even partial recovery of 13–29% across eight domains in two days is a substantial finding.
Two days of training — one session each day at the conference. The CNSVS after-test was administered the following day (next-day measurement). This means the improvements represent the cumulative effect of two sessions plus overnight recovery, not an immediate post-session measurement.
