NASA's Human Research Program Testing Noninvasive Techniques

Caption

Using an ultrasound, NASA's Human Research Program is currently testing noninvasive techniques to evaluate and measure intracranial pressure as part of the One-Year Mission research. NASA is collaborating with the Russians to test a potential countermeasure using a Russian Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) or Chibis suit which could help shift fluids from the upper body to the lower body in crews before returning to Earth.
