The Shenzhou-19 crew members aboard China's Tiangong space station carried out a range of scientific experiments and tests, and completed environmental monitoring, station management and some other tasks last week, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The astronauts used electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment to carry out tests for a number of experiments. Data collected will help ground-based researchers explore areas such as the impact of gravity on visual motion processing and the effects of brainwave music intervention on regulating inhibitory control functions during long-duration space flights.

The crew also completed the tests for a number of experiments such as fine motor control and visual motion gravity representation as planned, with the use of fine motor measurement instruments, eye trackers and other equipment, as well as related experimental software.
Additionally, the trio used the plantar pressure collection equipment to obtain data under different flight conditions, helping researchers explore and map relationships between different motion state parameters and plantar pressure.
Experimental projects in the field of microgravity physics science are progressing as planned.
The crew replaced the experimental samples in the fluid physics experiment cabinet and the containerless experiment cabinet, and completed a number of tasks such as the vacuuming of exhaust gases in the combustion cabinet.
Besides, the crew, together with China's first space station AI flight robot "Xiao Hang", completed a number of experiments including the research on multimodal interaction technology.
In addition, the astronauts carried out environment monitoring, equipment inspection and maintenance and other tasks inside the space station.
They also performed works including medical checks and weightlessness protection exercises.
The Shenzhou-19 crew, including the country's first female space engineer, was sent into space on Oct 30, 2024 for a six-month mission, which includes 86 space science research and technology experiments, as announced by CMSA prior to the launch.
