Test of Reaction and Adaptation Capabilities (TRAC) will test
the theory of brain adaptation during spaceflight by testing
hand-eye coordination before, during and after the mission. This
experiment is a collaborative effort between NASA and the
Canadian Space Agency.Principal Investigator(s) Canadian Space

Missions ISS Expedition 14 is the first mission for TRAC. The
Test of Reaction and Adaptation Capabilities (TRAC) experiment
will evaluate the theory that the decline of manual skills
during spaceflight is a result of sensory-motor adaptation. The
data that are collected will be used to provide evidence that
the brain undergoes adaptive reorganization in microgravity
which consumes resources that will be used for computational
tasks leaving few resources for activities inv
