Postural adaptation to microgravity underlies fine motor impairment in astronauts’ speech.

Note: From the article: “The authors declare that the data used within this analysis was obtained from publicly available sources, and all research was completed in accordance with human research ethics guidelines and regulations. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provides audio and video for a selection of missions through the public NASA images archive, which contains audio and video files of Astronaut interviews for selected missions. Audio files from each mission were selected because they feature substantial speech data (between 70 and 120 s of speech) of astronauts immediately before and after their respective missions, allowing direct comparisons of vowel space before and after adaptations to microgravity. We evaluated vowel formants from four astronauts across four STS missions: (i) STS-129 (ii) STS-133, (iii) STS-134, and (iv) STS-135.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
