Expansion
Ahead of the launch of the Indian space mission Gaganyaan, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi is studying the brain activity of astronauts. Under this, an attempt is made to find out what is the effect on the response of the human brain after wearing a space suit. If experts are to be believed, this study will prove to be very beneficial for the passengers of Mission Gaganyaan. This will help them to plan for space travel. It is expected that its concrete results will come out within the next six months.
signals reaching the brain are affected by wearing a space suit
Actually, the Physiology Department of AIIMS is keeping an eye on the physical activity of the person wearing a space suit in the lab. After wearing a space suit, the air pressure is increased in it, so that the body parts also work on the basis of space. During this, it is being seen in the lab that what kind of movement or phenomenon occurs in the body parts of the person after wearing the suit. How long does it take for information from other parts of the body to reach the brain and how long does it take for the brain to react. Through this research, the ability of the traveler to think and understand in space will be studied. It will be seen whether this capacity will decrease or increase which will be beneficial for any kind of improvement in future.
humans will be sent to space
The country is working on the Gaganyaan plan to take humans into space. In relation to the plan, Union Minister Jitendra Singh had said in the past that astronauts would be sent in its third launch. He had said that the launching of Gaganyaan would be an excellent symbol of self-reliance. This will increase the confidence of the country. This in itself will be a historic initiative as our journey into space started much later than America and Russia. But today our country’s research is at the level of America and Russia.
brain gives signal before every action
The brain gives signals before any action takes place in the body. According to the senior doctors of the department, before there is any movement in any part of the body, it gives a signal to the brain to take action. This is called the Movement Related Potential (MRPA). Whereas, when the brain responds, it is called electromyography (EMG). In a normal person, the speed of information reaching the brain from the body part and the response back from the brain is one thousand to one and a half thousand milliseconds (thousandth of a second). Its signals are also strong. Decrease in this speed or weakening of the signal affects the brain’s ability to think and understand. Doctors say that the human body works differently in the gravity of the earth. Whereas space has a different effect.
