Explore the challenges astronauts face in space, specifically in tracking objects and performing two tasks simultaneously under zero-gravity conditions.

Principal objective of Paul's is to try and distinguish between the effects of Michael gravity on information processing skills and those calls by fatigue. The performance test that Commander Henders are performing right now is being conducted on a laptop computer. In a series of tests that have been designed to help measure astronauts responses to such things as rotated images, letter sequences, some simple math calculations and spatial patterns, as well as just simple recollection of numbers. The subject's ability to track and unstable object on computer screen will also be part of some of the test. And perhaps the most challenging test for each of the subjects will be to perform two tasks at the same time, rapidly switching attention between the two tasks. Each subject has performed a series of tests prior to the mission to establish a baseline for being able to compare data that is obtained on orbit and during the mission. That's a best observation. Your hand breaking. Yes, Luca, I want to make sure that you guys receiving good EMG signals on me at our finished TVD, F08 step 4, the D2 right now, and moving into the motor for T test. I want to know if you can call it that action. Thank you.
