Chapter 62 Brainwaves

Wei Hongsi had no knowledge of finance. Originally, all he wanted was a list of those seven companies, to understand the context of the events that caused their abnormal market value fluctuations, and to analyze whether there was any possibility of them being subjected to "mental pollution."

However, since Ji Cheng had brought the entire document, he wouldn't stand on ceremony and photographed all the fourth round of analysis in the report, which totaled over twenty pages. It didn't matter if he didn't understand it himself; he could consult knowledgeable friends.

After filming, the report was returned to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng put it back into the bag and asked, "Engineer Wei, how serious is the situation with our Xiao Chen, Chen Haoyu?"

"Wait a moment, let me take a look."

Wei Hongsi returned to his computer, checked Chen Haoyu's ID number, and then found the corresponding data group.

Based on the degree of deviation of the abnormal values, Chen Haoyu is in the median range among the subjects who have been identified as suffering from "mental pollution." According to the assessment criteria established by the IR1 project team, this also falls under the category of moderate mental pollution.

At this moment, the second round of monitoring data also arrived. Wei Hongsi found Chen Haoyu's data packet and compared it with the first round; the situation was basically the same.

"I'd say it's average, not too good, not too bad either," he told Ji Cheng.

"Then why did he react so strongly?" Ji Cheng asked, both puzzled and worried. "You think tripping Shen Qing last night was an overreaction? If this is typical of moderate incidents, what if he actually hits someone in serious situations?"

"You can't make such a simple analogy. While conflict manifests in behavior, it's still constrained by reason. It's not that the more severe the 'symptom,' the more serious the extreme behavior will necessarily be." Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment before asking, "Hmm... does Chen Haoyu sometimes make similar little gestures when joking with friends and colleagues?"

"Ah? Well..." Ji Cheng thought about it carefully.

Chen Haoyu certainly didn't dare to act recklessly when he was in front of him, but when he was playing around with other young people, he did indeed trip them up or tug at their clothes from behind.

So he nodded and said, "He seems to have a habit of fidgeting."

"So his behavior is rather outrageous, which is also closely related to his own behavioral habits."

"Damn it!" Ji Cheng cursed under his breath, feeling that he needed to give Chen Haoyu some extra education in this area.

"In addition, everyone's tolerance and resistance to the virus are different. Although the infection numbers may seem similar, the outward manifestations can be very different."

"Oh, I understand. It's like some people can drink a pound of baijiu and be fine, while others pass out after just two ounces. Right?"

"That's right, that makes sense."

"So, do you think Chen Haoyu is easy to deal with?"

"Hmm... it's hard to say yet," Wei Hongsi said thoughtfully, "but I think there's a method that would be suitable for him and would definitely be effective."

"It would be good if it worked." Ji Cheng knew this was a situation he had never encountered before, so the other party naturally couldn't guarantee anything.

"Mr. Ji, I would like to ask you to provide one more piece of information."

"you say."

"Once the screening results are available, we will conduct a personality analysis on those subjects who are confirmed to be 'infected,' allowing them to self-assess, along with feedback from their colleagues. The more detailed the analysis, the better, as this will help us tailor a more suitable treatment plan for them."

"good!"

"Also, please take note of any unusual behaviors of the 'confirmed' test subjects; anything that seems a bit abnormal is included."

"no problem."

Ji Cheng readily agreed. Although the matter was a bit troublesome, since Wei Hongsi had brought it up, he felt more confident in treating those people.

In addition to treating the subjects, Wei Hongsi's two requests were also aimed at collecting more relevant data. After all, CMS can simulate the brainwave changes of a large number of samples infected with "psychological viruses," but it cannot simulate the behavior of these samples after being "mentally corrupted."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ji Cheng went to the 11th floor. Seeing that Wei Hongsi was busy, he didn't want to disturb him any further.

Wei Hongsi opened a document on his computer and began to modify and supplement it.

Last night, he, Gu Shiming, and Yu Sheng finalized a preliminary plan on how to choose a suitable solution for the subjects who were "mentally polluted".

My conversation with Ji Cheng about Chen Haoyu gave him a new idea.

While Chen Haoyu's impulsive behavior is most likely a matter of personality or habit, his actions after being "mentally disturbed" bear some resemblance to those of someone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This similarity is not due to differences in the function or development of brain networks, but rather to the prefrontal cortex of the brain.

The prefrontal cortex is the brain's "command center," responsible for higher cognitive functions such as attention regulation, impulse control, and emotion regulation. One category of functions related to emotion included in Option B specifically targets these prefrontal cortex functions.

Therefore, Chen Haoyu's behavior appears rather outrageous. For his case, "cognitive restructuring" is clearly a more suitable treatment method.

Wei Hongsi felt that this should be used as a standard for choosing treatment methods, so he suggested that Ji Cheng conduct personality surveys on the "diagnosed" subjects.

Of course, this personality questionnaire is not the only basis; it is mainly used for verification and supplementation.

The main basis still relies on instrument detection. For example, those with a smaller prefrontal cortex volume, or those with a lower degree of prefrontal cortex activation when performing inhibitory control tasks, as well as those with an imbalance of the two neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, are more suitable for the "cognitive restructuring" method.

For people who already have relatively weak self-control, adding ingredients using the "neutralization" method will have a more pronounced negative effect.

After revising the document, Wei Hongsi sent it to Gu Shiming's newly established "CDU" project team.

Currently, there are only four people in this project team: him, Gu Shiming, Qian Jiayu, and Yu Sheng. No new members have joined yet.

After sending it out, Wei Hongsi waited two minutes for a response, then opened another document and began writing a new proposal.

He was going to the police station that afternoon to discuss with the task force the plan to extract that information from Mu Jie's mind. The matter at the amusement park wasn't finished yet, so he couldn't stay at the police station for too long, and he figured they wouldn't give him much time either.

So he planned to write out an executable plan first, go and have a brief discussion, and then give the plan to them.

After making that phone call last night, his brother hasn't heard from him again, and he didn't want to ask too many questions. So he wanted to take this opportunity to ask about the aftermath of the mentally ill man's car accident.
