Abstract

During spaceflight, astronauts are exposed to multiple environmental stressors, which significantly impact their performance. Artificial lighting, as the primary or even sole light source, plays a critical role due to its non-visual effects. However, whether dynamic lighting (DL) can serve as a sensory stimulus to improve performance remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the non-visual effects and neural mechanisms of DL. A total of 30 participants took part in a single-blind, within-subjects experiment employing a 2 (static vs. dynamic light) × 2 (mental states: fatigue vs. non-fatigue) design. Participants completed a series of tasks under different experimental conditions to assess their neurobehavioral performance under DL. The results demonstrated that exposure to DL selectively improved cognition, but did not yield significant benefits for subjective alertness or mood. EEG analysis revealed that lower-frequency bands, particularly theta and alpha, were highly sensitive to DL, primarily reflecting its suppressive effects on these bands.

动态照明对空间站工作区域不同心理状态下神经行为表现的影响。

在太空飞行过程中，宇航员暴露于多种环境压力源，这对他们的表现产生了重大影响。人工照明作为主要甚至唯一的光源，由于其非视觉效果而起着至关重要的作用。然而，动态照明（DL）是否可以作为感官刺激来提高表现尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨DL的非视觉效应和神经机制。共有30名参与者参加了单盲实验，采用2（静态与动态光）× 2（精神状态：疲劳与非疲劳）设计。参与者在不同的实验条件下完成了一系列任务，以评估他们在DL下的神经行为表现。结果表明，接触DL选择性地改善了认知，但对主观警觉性或情绪没有显著的好处。脑电图分析显示，低频波段，特别是θ和α波段对DL高度敏感，主要反映了DL对这些波段的抑制作用。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
