Research projects

NEUROPOLE

The present project is the results of merging ESCOM and COGNIPOLE. ESCOM aims at investigating the effect of exercise on sleep regulation, cognitive performance & mood during both Antarctic summer and winter. COGNIPOLE aims at quantifying the impact of sleep & circadian rhythm disturbance on executive function in the peculiar environment of isolation and confinement in Antarctica. Both projects build further on the results obtained in the Antarctic Sleep Monitoring project.
