Handling Stress: Effects of Glove Resistance on Dexterity and Physiological Stress
Meliah Martin et al.
Research on analog astronaut performance and stress levels is essential for both aerospace and other high stakes environments. Gloves, while protective, can restrict dexterity and impact an astronaut's ability to complete tasks. This study aims to explore the connection between glove stiffness, task outcomes, and stress response with the goal of informing design and training strategies for operational environments, both within Eaglenauts and industry. We aim to have 24-36 participants who will c
