“…In connection with the Mission Execution Crew Assistant (MECA) by TNO [19,20], we have an unique possibility to test our design within MARS-500 experiment. MARS-500 provides a unique test platform, because of its setting in which a small crew is isolated for a long duration to simulate a manned Mars mission.…”

This paper presents a method for monitoring the mental state of small isolated crews during long-term missions (such as space mission, polar expeditions, submarine crews, meteorological stations, and etc.) The research is done as a part of Automatic Mental Health Assistant (AMHA) project which aims to develop set of techniques for automatic measuring of intra-and inter-personal states in working groups. The method is focused on those aspects of psychological and sociological states that are crucial for the performance of the crew. In particular, we focus on measuring of emotional stress, initial signs of conflicts, trust, and ability to collaborate. The present research is performed in collaboration with MARS-500 experiment in which a small group of people is isolated for a long period of time. The MARS-500 experiment, in this way, provides a unique platform for study of human-human interaction. The confinement study will imitate all key peculiarities expected to be present during future missions to Mars (i.e. ultra long duration flight, need for autonomy, complicated communication with a digital communication center due to signal delay, and limited stock of expendables).The developed method is also currently tested by usage of a web-based platform.

“…Related experiments have shown that typing intervals, facial expressions and gestures give clearer indication about the emotional tensions, so we can correlate the game outcomes results with these measurements. In connection with the Mission Execution Crew Assistant (MECA) by TNO [19,20], we have an unique possibility to test our design within MARS-500 experiment. MARS-500 provides a unique test platform, because of its setting in which a small crew is isolated for a long duration to simulate a manned Mars mission.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a method for monitoring mental state of small isolated crews during long-term missions (such as space mission, polar expeditions, submarine crews, meteorological stations, and etc). It combines the records of negotiation game with monitoring of the nonverbal behavior of the players. We analyze the records of negotiation game that has taken place between the crew members who were placed in isolated environment for 105 days during the Mars-500 experiment. The outcomes of the analysis, differently from the previously made conclusions, show that there was not a significant deviation of the rational choice of the players. We propose an extension of the method that includes monitoring of the nonverbal behavior of the players next to recording the game records. The method is focused on those aspects of psychological and sociological states that are crucial for the performance of the crew. In particular, we focus on measuring of emotional stress, initial signs of conflicts, trust, and ability to collaborate.
