Summary

Crews of future long-duration exploration missions will have to cope with a wide range of stressors that present significant challenges for maintaining optimal performance. Crews will have to operate under conditions of high workload, reduced sleep and circadian dysregulation, limited sensory stimulation, confinement and extended separation from family and friends, and communication delays isolating them from real-time interaction with ground support, which may be particularly critical in the event of emergencies. These factors present significant risks to optimal cognitive/behavioral functioning and performance, across individuals and teams, and such challenges will only increase in criticality as human exploration moves beyond Earth's orbit to targets such as the Moon and Mars. To help mitigate these risks, Massachusetts General Hospital, along with collaborators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will investigate a novel, personalized and scalable, closed-loop platform technology for on-board behavioral health management-one which adapts the local working environment to optimize performance based on biosensor feedback.

Interventions

DEVICE

AttentivU

A device for continuous brain and physiology monitoring. It includes up to 8 EEG sensors as well as EOG and accelerometry which can be monitored in real-time for changes in attention, sleepiness, alertness, cognitive load, stress, and related psychological traits. The EEG data is analyzed in real-time to identify these states and this information can then be used to modulate "countermeasures" to the state--to either increase or decrease alertness or help counteract cognitive load sleepiness or stress conditions.
