Principal Investigator: Cowings, Patricia

Short Title: Pre-flight Training for Spatial Disorientation

Responsible HRP Element: Human Health Countermeasures

Collaborating Org(s):

NASA Ames Research Center (ARC)

Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:
1) To determine individual baselines of physiological responses and tolerances to spatial disorientation.

2) To evaluate Autogenic-Feedback Training Exercise effects for mitigating symptoms and improving tolerances to spatial disorientation.

Category: Countermeasure
Subcategory: Protocol

Description:
This task was not necessary for gap closure but did provide information regarding a method for enabling people to monitor and voluntarily control some of their physiological responses, thereby suppressing motion sickness symptoms. Please see Task Book entry for more details.
