Brain electrical activity (EEG) during parabolic flights revealed hemispheric asymmetry in individuals experiencing motion sickness. Further analysis explored chaotic attractors in EEG patterns for deeper insights.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Space Physiology
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Understanding brain activity during altered gravity is crucial for space travel.
  • Motion sickness is a common challenge for astronauts and participants in parabolic flights.
  • Previous studies used Fast Fourier analysis (FFT) on electroencephalography (EEG) data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate EEG patterns during parabolic flights.
  • To identify differences in brain activity between individuals with and without motion sickness.
  • To explore the potential of chaotic dynamics analysis in EEG during altered gravity.

Main Methods:

  • Recording EEG in trained astronauts and non-trained volunteers during parabolic flights.
  • Applying Fast Fourier analysis (FFT) to EEG data.

  • Calculating the dimensionality of chaotic attractors in EEG patterns across different g-epochs.

    • Main Results:

    • EEG analysis showed greater interhemispheric asymmetry in subjects experiencing motion sickness.
    • FFT analysis alone could not distinguish between deterministic and stochastic brain activity.
    • Preliminary calculations of chaotic attractor dimensionality were performed.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemispheric asymmetry in EEG may be linked to motion sickness during parabolic flight.
    • Chaotic dynamics analysis offers a potential new method for characterizing EEG during altered gravity.
    • Further research is needed to validate these preliminary findings on EEG and motion sickness.
