The Future of Space Exploration: BrainHQ’s Computerized Brain Training for Astronauts

This week Fish Fry is headed to space! My guest Mouna Attarha (Posit Science) and I explore a new study conducted by NASA that examined the benefits of computerized brain training for astronauts during long-distance space travel. We also chat about the adverse effects that space travel has on the brain and the exercises included in Posit Science’s BrainHQ app. Also this week, I investigate new research that may give astronauts a new way to easily quench their thirst on the moon.
