Computational Modeling and Machine Learning Projects Supporting the Human Research Program at NASA 

We introduce some of the cross-cutting computational modeling team’s projects, supporting NASA’s Human Research Program at NASA Glenn Research Center. The team implements well-vetted computational models to predict and assess health and performance risks, enhance countermeasure development, and predict acceptable human performance limits, thereby preserving the functional capabilities of astronauts. Specifically, we investigate the cognitive performance of rats at a subject-based level and use dose and performance scores taken before irradiation to predict whether a rat’s performance will be impaired when irradiated. The results of this study are significant to crewed space missions as they provide a basis for a computational analysis framework to predict the potential performance impairment of an astronaut in a specific task before spaceflight through the implementation of appropriately trained machine learning tools.
