    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Space Medicine
    • Human Factors Engineering

    Background:

    • Manual docking in space is a complex operation requiring significant cognitive resources.
    • Assessing cosmonaut cognitive capacity is crucial for ensuring mission safety.
    • The P300 event-related potential is a known neurophysiological marker of cognitive processing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of using the P300 brain potential to assess cognitive load during manual space docking.
    • To enhance the safety protocols for manual docking operations in space missions.

    Main Methods:

    • Eight cosmonauts performed a manual docking task at varying difficulty levels (low, medium, high).
    • A secondary acoustic monitoring task was used to evoke the P300 component.
    • P300 amplitude and latency were measured in response to auditory stimuli during the docking task.

    Main Results:

    • A methodology for recording event-related potentials (P300) was successfully established under space conditions.
    • The largest P300 amplitude and shortest latency were observed during the medium-difficulty docking task.
    • P300 responses were reliably recorded during a complex manual space operation.

    Conclusions:

    • The P300 potential can be effectively recorded during complex manual docking tasks in space.
    • P300 measurement offers a potential method for assessing the real-time cognitive capacity of cosmonauts.
    • This neurophysiological assessment could contribute to improved safety during space missions.
