🚀JAXA | Shiseido Conducts Joint Research on Stress in Closed-off Environment Simulating the International Space Station (ISS)
-Circadian rhythm of stress hormone disrupted, distortion in facial expression increased-
Shiseido Company, Limited (“Shiseido”) and National Research and Development Agency Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have conducted a joint research using a closed-off chamber environment training facility (“the isolation chamber”) in JAXA’s Tsukuba Space Center and observed a disruption in the circadian rhythm of salivary stress hormone (cortisol) and an increased distortion in facial expression during the stay in the isolation chamber.
The team has discovered the possibility of quick stress self-assessment by studying changes in saliva and facial expression.
