title: Psycho-physiological monitoring in real and simulated space flight conditions.
abstract: Earlier in simulating experiments from long isolation of small group in hermetic cabin we were found out the significant interrelation between changes physiological parameters and subjective appraisal of a condition, activity regulating systems of organism, individual variability of a colour choice, and also quality of operator's activity. On the basis of these results we develop a method of psychophysiological monitoring. The important component of a method is study of the variational characteristics of registered parameters, with the purpose of reception of the information about character of transients in organism. The present research is carried out in conditions of 135-daily isolation in a breadboard model MIR station (experiment HUBES). Its PURPOSE was study of dynamic psycho-emotional condition, simultaneously with study physiological and biochemical parameters, describing process of adaptation to complex conditions of ability to live. Besides were analyzed the results of circadian rhythm's researches during space flights of 6 Russian cosmonauts (duration from 70 till 182 days) on orbital MIR station.
