Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate which physiological process that controls normal human body homeostasis is affected by low levels of acute hypoxic exposure and whether there is a difference in those physiological processes and simulated flight performance between a rapid and ramp hypoxic exposure To accomplish this pilot analogs will be exposed to normoxic simulated 8000 ft 2438 m simulated 12000 ft 3658 m and a ramp exposure breathing at simulated 8000 ft for 5 minutes before ascending to simulated 12000 ft while flying in a flight simulator During the flight simulator participants will need to accomplish three tasks 1 Maintaining an altitude of 5000 ft of elevation while performing a mental math test 2 Flying the aircraft through the center of a series of 7 targets and 3 Taking off and flying the aircraft a short distance to land on the center of an indicated target Physiological measures of heart rate variability HRV blood pressure BP peripheral oxygen saturation SpO2 electrodermal activity EDA and neck neuromuscular activity using electromyography EMG will be measured for this study Along with questionnaires to assess hypoxic symptoms simulator sickness and self-perceived workload for each task
