Summary
Brian Brushwood. Magician, exposed to inappropriate levels of brain electricity. "Electric sponges make him the world's smartest man!" I KNOW EVERYTHING!!!
Reference Material
- (Wired) Read This Before Zapping Your Brain
- (YT) Heat Vision and Jack
Corrections
- Brian mentions off-handedly that he's left-brained, but left-brain / right-brain isn't a terribly substantiated thing.
- While Overwatch itself is not a perfect test of reaction time, Human Benchmark was intended to be the hard numbers and Overwatch was more a test of "can you even feel a difference?"

Fun Facts
- The censor blips in this episode are electronic interference.
- There is a brief Crash Bandicoot sound played when Brian yelps as the TDCS is first turned on.
- So much of the Overwatch gameplay is seen in the wide shot, because almost all of the desktop capture recorded at a very low frame rate due to an overworked CPU and lack of testing OBS beforehand.
- There was a whole segment where Brian and Jason had trouble parsing the data of the reaction time tests, which was cut for clarity.
