Description :

We wish to study 5 cognitive processes (Perception, Attention, Memorization, Decision and Action) involved in 4 different tasks that astronauts may encounter: T1 visuo-motor tracking, T2 perception of self-orientation, T3 3D navigation and T4 discrimination of objects orientation. The roles played by gravity on these neural processes will be analysed by means evoked potentials and EEG dynamics methods during virtual reality stimulation.
