SP - 256 EP - 260 VL - 9 IS - 4 N2 - To study the possible effect of simulated weightlessness on brain function state, the brain event-related potentials (ERPs) during a simple visual selective response task were compared between head down tilt (HDT) and head up tilt (HUT) in 9 normal subjects. The results were: both the target (T) and non-target (NT) flash signals induced significant slow positive potentials which were supposed to be related to the attention activity; the amplitude of the positive potentials in the frontal regions decreased significantly especially for NT-ERPs during HDT as compared with that during HUT. The data provide new evidence indicating that the ability of brain response declined during simulated weightlessness and more attention should be paid to the study of brain function during space flight.
