sorry for the late reply but im 100% sure the cable caused me to be dumber, one whiff of it feels so unnerving. it smells like an electronic odor and it's totally disorientating. i was submrrged in that for three years unknowingly cause it was masked by my desktpp (i thoight my desktpp causrd it). any thoughts? if theres any info i can provide i will, i still have the cable i can send you the exact copy and if theres any test i can run or report i could do i will
A burnt cable smells nasty and a strong whiff of it can be overwhelming, sure. There's not much I can do for you without physical access to the cord, unfortunately. And even then there's not much I could do, without you getting a physical check-up with blood work.
My advice is to as soon as possible make an appointment with your doctor and explain your symptoms and time-frame, bring the cord along and ask for advice. The doctor will probably want to do blood work first of all and maybe brain scans etc to rule out medical issues.
I saw you're quite young and I know going to a doctor can be both scary and expensive, but from the symptoms you have described I urge you to get professional advice and help.
Good luck friend, I hope you feel better soon!

the part about electronic odors on this page explains my situation well i think but it was over the course of years.
i dont think any neuroscientist could help me because my case is one of a kind - i definitely have had a decline in so many mental areas though
