That might be why they gave the study participants wasabi tablets:
"More recently, wasabi been rumored to help with cognitive abilities because of its supposed calming effect on the brain. Because of that, it is now sold as a supplement in many health food stores." (emphasis mine)

You can sometimes find the real stuff (in root form) in Japanese grocery stores, it's just kind of expensive
And it's really hard to grow outside of Japanese shaded stream beds. A few commercial operations have cracked commercial wasabi greenhouse operations, but not many.
Bonus: the Japanese indigo industry makes more than jeans and more than one color.
