Axiom Space private astronaut missions support breakthroughs in space, bringing benefits to every human, everywhere.
The Vokalkord experiment will focus on developing an artificial intelligence system to detect over 70 types of disease by analyzing respiratory, speaking, and cough sounds. This project further develops the software for use on Earth as a tool to identify and diagnose lung cancers, voice and vocal cord diseases, infectious diseases, and even cardiovascular and eye disease.
Conducting on-board training (OBT) while crew are in space allows training for new and complex tasks and helps remind crew of previous training done on the ground. The ESA-sponsored Virtual Reality - On-Board Training (VR-OBT) project aims to perform training activities on the ISS via a virtual reality Head Mounted Display (HMD), which enables visualization and interaction with complex 3D models. This technology demonstration will evaluate the compatibility of VR equipment with the ISS environment, test how well real-time space-to-ground collaboration can occur, and compare the efficiency of training delivery via VR relative to standard training methods.
This experiment seeks to determine whether influenced voice pattern and listening capabilities of the participant might be able to be detected by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm. Vocal characteristics of an International Space Station crewmember can change in a zero-gravity environment, and after undergoing cognitive function changes. Electroglottograph measurements of vocal fold vibration provide a quantitative indication of vocal fold function. Scripted voice audio recordings (reading, singing, vowel enunciation, audio pitch matching) allow for tonal analysis. These data allow the investigator to test and analyze vocal performance and voice pattern changes in space and then evaluate how space journey influences the human voice.
This experiment will investigate how the physical and cognitive impact of utilizing computer screens in microgravity. The research will study how pointing tasks, gaze fixation, and rapid eye movements are affected my being performed in space, and how this may interact with subjective experiences of stress wellbeing. The results could inform future spacecraft computer design and interaction.
