‘As outlined in a paper published in the journal Frontiers, the team led by NASA’s Behavioral Health and Performance Laboratory researcher Sheena Dev found that the astronauts’ cognitive performance wasn’t noticeably impaired after they returned to Earth. However, a series of tests revealed that their cognitive abilities slowed down while in space, “suggesting that processing speed, visual working memory, sustained attention, and risk-taking propensity may be the cognitive domains most susceptible to change in Low Earth Orbit for high-performing, professional astronauts,” the researchers wrote….’ (Victor Tangermann via Futurism)
