Scientific paper

The ALTEA project is aimed at studying the possible functional damages to the Central Nervous System (CNS) due to particle radiation in space environment. The project is an international and multi-disciplinary collaboration. The basic instrumentation is composed by a series of active particle telescopes, one ElectroEncephaloGrapher (EEG) and a visual stimulator, arranged in a an helmetshaped device. This instrumentation is able to measure concurrently the dynamics of the functional status of the visual system, the cortical electrophysiological activity, and the passage of each particle through the brain within a predetermined energy window. The three basic instruments can be used separately or in any combination, permitting several different experiments. ALTEA is scheduled to fly in the International Space Station (ISS) in spring 2003. One part of the multi-sensor device one of the advanced silicon telescopes and one EEG (project "ALTEINO") will be launched in the Russian modulus of the ISS in early 2002 and serve as discriminating dosimeter for the particle fluences within the ISS, and as first monitoring device for the astronaut's electrophysiological activity.
