Neurophysiological Estimates of Human Performance Capabilities in Aerospace Systems
Abstract
The effects of 4.5, 6.0 and 7.0 +Gz acceleration levels on the electroencephalogram (EEG) were collaboratively studies with the USAFSAM. At no time did the EEG records suggest a significant impairment of cerebral functions. To achieve a separation of muscle and brain signals required development of new filtering methods which resulted in a capability for direct monitoring of brain function during severe physical stress in performing subjects. The need for adequate monitoring of diving performance ability resulted in the design of a new system using return-current density techniques. A wide range of studies have been conducted on cellular behavior in the visual system, in conditions of sleep and wakefulness, anesthesia, and as a concomitant of saccadic eye movements. Several studies were conducted on the unrestrained chimpanzee including sleep-wake cycles.
