Auditory Go/NoGo Task in the Dry Immersion Model of Microgravity
Microgravity Science and Technology. 2024. Vol. 36. Article 32.
The effects of a ground-based model of microgravity on executive functions (namely, inhibition) were investigated in this study. Volunteers participated in so-called dry immersion (DI), during which they spent 21 days in a water-filled tub in the supine position. During this period, they performed an auditory Go/NoGo task while multichannel EEG activity was recorded. The Go/NoGo task was performed one time outside of the DI and two times during the stay in the DI. ERPs were computed on correct NoGo and Go trials. While no behavioral deterioration of the Go/NoGo task was found during their stay in the DI, a significant difference was found in amplitudes between NoGo N2 ERP peaks before DI and during DI. The N2 peak was smaller on the 17th day of DI, indicating a potentially lower level of inhibitory control during simulated microgravity conditions. The amplitudes of the N1 and P3 peaks did not change significantly. The dry immersion procedure reproduces some of the important physiological factors of real space flights (support withdrawal, bodily liquid redistribution), thus our results hint at possible brain and behavioral alterations in real space flight that have so far been unnoticed.

It is generally accepted that the basis of social and legal stability in any society is a consensus on vir tue — the fundamental values of proper behavior, ways of maintaining and reproducing them. And, conversely, the destruction of this consensus is a sign of the loss of stability and divergence of positions of social ...

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

EEG recordings are often affected by the loss or corruption of individual channels due to electrode detachment, poor scalp contact, or external interference. Such channels must be accurately reconstructed before further analysis. In this study, we investigate Next-Generation Reservoir Computing (NG-RC) as a data-driven approach for reconstructing corrupted EEG channels and compare its performance with ...

Bacterial chromosomes are tightly packed in the cells due to interactions with specific nucleoid-associated proteins. Among them, the IHF protein draws attention due to its presumed influence on intracellular crystallization processes, leading to bacterial resistance to drugs. The crystal structure of the IHF heterodimer is known only in complex with a short DNA fragment, whereas ...

Individuals raised in institutionalized care settings are more likely to demonstrate developmental deficits than those raised in biological families. One domain that is vulnerable to the impoverished environments characteristic of some institutionalized care facilities is language development.
