Towards human exploration of space: the THESEUS review series on neurophysiology research priorities
Résumé
The THESEUS project (Towards Human Exploration of Space: a European Strategy), initiated within the seventh FrameworkProgramme by the European Commission, aimed at providing a cross-cutting, life-science-based roadmap for Europe’s strategytowards human exploration of long space missions, and its relevance to applications on Earth. This topic was investigated byexperts in the field, in the framework of the THESEUS project whose aim was to develop an integrated life sciences researchroadmap regarding human space exploration. In particular, decades of research have shown that altered gravity impairsneurological responses at large, such as perception, sleep, motor control, and cognitive factors. International experts established alist of key issues that should be addressed in that context and provided several recommendations such as a maximal exploitation ofcurrently available resources on Earth and in space
