Stress in Space - Judging an Astronaut's Mental State
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 18 Δεκ 2015
Being
an astronaut is stressful. But astronauts aren’t the best at admitting
when they’re feeling the strain. An innovative research project uses
speech analysis to spot hints of underlying anxieties.

Being
an astronaut is a stressful job. You face the constant threat of
annihilation, and know that a huge team and expensive mission rely on
you doing your job well.
But astronauts aren’t always the best
at identifying, or admitting, when they’re stressed or overwhelmed.
Sarita Robinson, a psychologist from the University of Central
Lancaster, says that while we’re increasingly comfortable with the
intense physiological conditions of space travel, our understanding of
the psychological impacts still leaves something to be desired. Mark
Huckvale and a team at University College London ran a research project
that investigated whether subtle variations in speech patterns of
astronauts taking part in the Mars 500 experiment might reveal anxieties
that the astronauts’ words were hiding.
Could subtle cues in the way an astronaut speaks let mission control know when they’re starting to feel the strain?
‘A
Place Called Space’ is the 2015 Royal Institution advent calendar.
Every day in the run up to Christmas we'll be releasing an original
piece of content exploring the human experience and cultural
significance of space travel. With hand-drawn animations, experiments in
zero gravity, interviews with astronauts and creative data
visualisations, the calendar will fire you into space every morning.
'A
Place Called Space' channels the voices of seasoned astronauts and
expert scientists through the eyes of a team of talented animators,
film-makers and artists, bringing you a thought-provoking gem to
kick-start each day.
