WBA Space Analog Mission Complete

This experiment on the emotional responses of astronauts (ERAs) went even better than I could’ve imagined! I have almost 400 5-minute files of audiovisual diary data! The next steps involve cleaning and redacting the data as I prepare for the analytical pipeline – this will involve topic modelling and sentiment analysis. However, what is the research question, you may ask? we have little basic understanding of the triggers of emotional responses in astronauts. so that is the beginning, but then there is latitude in the literature reviews I have done to take a gender perspective. Popavaite has done this vis a vis leadership. I will consider this in terms of the crew at large.

I am also preparing the ESA ERAs experiment!
