Aims:
This task aims to develop and validate a measure (i.e., checklist) through which flight surgeons can systematically evaluate symptoms of adverse neurobehavioral conditions that may occur over long-duration exploration missions.
Aim 1: To summarize available evidence of psychological and behavioral symptoms
experienced in isolated, confined, extreme (ICE) environments and exploration spaceflight based on comprehensive literature reviews and interviews with subject matter experts.
Aim 2:
To define and compare the prevalence, severity, and duration of discrete psychological/behavioral symptoms experienced among HERA and Antarctic winterover cohorts, including concurrent and sequential overlap with physical health symptoms.
Aim 3: To explore relationships among cognitive/perception performance, sleep
patterns and biomarkers of stress with psychological and behavioral symptoms in ICE
environments.
