Researchers hope to see how the brain adapts to space travel during the 10-day mission.
, will embark on a 10-day excursion which will include eight days of living and working aboard the International Space Station.. The experiment will also return to Earth with the Ax-1 crew.The company says that their examination of the brain will be unique, as, according to them, to-date,"there is currently no high-quality longitudinal data regarding the neural changes in prolonged space missions," their website states.
By obtaining and studying this information, the company aims to gain more insight into how the brain adapts in space, which is an environment full of challenges like radiation, microgravity and isolation. Learning about the"day-to-day plastic changes" of the brain, the company states on its website. The company terms that these adaptations, could help future spaceflyers get more comfortable in orbit.
Studies of neurons, or nervous system cells that include brain cells, have been performed in space before. But, on its website, Brain.Space says that these studies were performed using gel-based systems that assess electrical activity at low resolution, known as EEGs The experiments, the company noted,"were complex to set up in microgravity and only focused on simple brain activity measurements." Their EEG brain headset, Brain.Space said, will simplify the setup and give far more detail as to how the brain behaves.
The experimentation with this headset will monitor brain activity, along with how the brain assesses and uses knowledge in space, also called cognitive performance. Besides forming adaptations for future space flyers, the headset should provide some metrics to assess the health of brains in space, which may flow to more studies in the future.
