Lore Name:  Associate Researcher Dr. Westings, MS PhD

Rank:  Associate Researcher of the Foundation Department of Research.

SCP:  SCP-999; Safe-Class

 

Question / Idea:  Is the psychological reaction to SCP-999 exposure anomalous or biochemical in nature?

Background Research:

- https://www.healthline.com/health/eeg#uses "An EEG is used to detect ... electrical activity of the brain ..."

- https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/pet-scan/about/pac-20385078 "Pictures from a PET scan display bright spots where the radioactive tracer collected. These spots reveal higher levels of chemical activity ..."

- https://www.neuroscientificallychallenged.com/blog/2014/6/11/know-your-brain-nucleus-accumbens "The most widely recognized function of the nucleus accumbens is its role in the "reward circuit" of the brain. ..."

Hypothesis:  The neurological reaction to SCP-999 is rooted in currently-understood biochemistry, induced through an as-of-yet unknown means.

Observations (What Happened During Test):  One (1) Class-D was hooked up to EEG and CT-PET imaging devices and exposed to SCP-999. Data was downloaded onto a hard drive in real time and was analyzed by radiology certified medical personnel.

Evidence/Visual Stimuli:  CT-PET and EEG data is available for peer-review and additional study. Please notify Dr. Westings and contact Site-05 Archive staff for a full, detailed copy of the data and its analysis. Item ID: L2/999/R74AJ48H

 

Analysis / Conclusion (What Could Have Caused The Results):  Analysis of CT and EEG readouts showed increased activity specific to the nucleus accumbens, confirming that SCP-999's effect is indeed biochemical. Further research should be conducted to determine whether said neurological reaction is anomalously induced or an unknown but explainable biological reaction to SCP-999.

Was Your Hypothesis Correct?:  Yes, my hypothesis was indeed correct.
