Cardiocog and Neurocog Cardiocog May 8, July 5, September 18 and October 18, 2004 the crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) performs the Belgian Cardiocog experiment. The objectives are to evaluate changes in cardiovascular function induced by long-term periods in microgravity, to compare altered function to pre- and post-flight data and to compare continuous microgravity effects on the cardiovascular system to short periods of microgravity and to simulations. On ground the B-USOC (Belgian User Support Operations Centre) follows the experiment and host the Principal Investigators in close collaboration with ESA! Neurocog May 4, May 5, May 6, July 6, July 8, September 20 and September 22, October 17, October 19, 2004 the crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) performs the Belgian Neurocog experiment. With Neurocog scientists want to study the effect of space flight conditions on the perception and the process of astronauts memorizing the orientation and location when performing investigations in a virtual environment.
During the Neurocog sessions the Russian astronaut Gennady Padalka first free-floats wearing the virtual reality headset, and then remains in a fixed position while performing the experiment. On ground the B-USOC (Belgian User Support Operations Centre) follows the experiment and host the Principal Investigators in close collaboration with ESA! Durring in-orbit operations, if needed, USOCs allow for interaction between the scientists and the astronaut performing the experiment. USOCs also receive facility and experiment data.
