Brief Summary:
The primary purpose of this interventional, placebo controlled, crossover, double blind, basic science exploratory study is to investigate whether there is a difference in brain electrophysiological oscillatory activity in healthy adults before and after oral consumption of water containing very small bubbles of oxygen (electrokinetically modified water).

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in spectral properties measured before and after drinking the test products using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurements [ Time Frame: 1 Week ]
    Magnetic fields will be recorded using a 275-channel whole-head MEG system

  2. Changes in localization of spontaneous brain activity measured before and after drinking the test products using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurements [ Time Frame: 1 Week ]
    Magnetic fields will be recorded using a 275-channel whole-head MEG system


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Self reported changes in behavioral state before and after drinking test product [ Time Frame: 1 Week ]
