Behavioral Health & Performance and Space Human Factors (Cognitive)

Errors in critical tasks, breakdown in crew communication and dynamics, and the accumulated stress from living and working in an isolated, confined and closed environment could jeopardize crew health and safety as well as mission objectives. Risk factors include: poor psychological adaptation; sleep and circadian rhythm problems; human/system interface problems; and behavioral illness (depression, anxiety, trauma, or other neuropsychiatric dysfunction). Deliverables include: unobtrusive monitoring of stress levels, coping strategies, performance and sleep; crew screening and performance criteria; techniques to ensure sleep quality; real-time workload analysis and planning; expert decision-making and VR systems; and guidelines for diagnosing and treating in-flight behavioral illness are also a high priority.
