Aims:
1. Identify components and principles that contribute to the stress in a microgravity environment;
2. Evaluate formal objective methods to measure and adapt for baseline chronic and acute stress, in-training performance, psychological stress response, lapse in judgment, and other errors during the adaptive stress training;
3. Develop a prototype for graduated stress training by evaluating adaptation rules, triggers, other state assessment in combination with biometric feedback;
4. Conduct a proof-of-concept of the training for hazardous conditions through implementation of the training on emergency procedures for the NASA International Space Station (ISS) with subsequent testing of the training in a full-scale virtual-reality ISS’ simulations; and
5. Establish guidelines for implementation of the graduated stress.
