Destination Mars

CREW Brain PERFORMANCE

Mission Day: 05

Day Five
 
Well, it is starting to seem more and more like a science fiction movie about outer space here... we are still without our heating system and we are cold.
 
In spite of this, the crew of CBHMM1 is in good spirits. This morning Gord, Kent, and Tom went to explore the Sarlacc Lava Tube while Olav, Chad, and Crew Commander Michaela stayed in the habitat.
 
On days in which we do not do out on EVAs the crew needs to exercise at least one hour a day to simulate the exercise needed to maintain muscle mass on Mars. As there is no gym in the Hab, the crew is forced to be creative when working out. With that said, we do have a treadmill and an exercise bike but the weight lifting equipment is lacking just a bit! With that said, Chad has managed to develop a Mars workout routine that he claims will keep anyone in shape.
 
In terms of our primary research mission, we continue to mine the data we are collecting and our results look promising. As noted yesterday, we do not seem to be experiencing cognitive fatigue between days which makes sense but we do seem to have increasing fatigue during the day – our brain health scores drop from the morning testing session to the midday session, and they drop again to the evening session. This makes quite a bit of sense given that we are working 12+ hour days!
 
Essentially, what we have developed at SUVA Technologies and in the Krigolson Lab are algorithms that combine the various aspects of brain function to predict cognitive states such as fatigue. So, in the figure that goes with this plot you see just this – a unique combination of brain health and performance scores to predict cognitive fatigue. And it works!
 
Back to the hab... we spent the afternoon in as the weather has turned against us a bit and to add to the fun of no heat, we are low on power as it was overcast most of the day. A cold dark night on Mars lies ahead.
 
 
 
 
Goodnight from Mars.
