Hi there, wishing you all the best in your pursuits and discoveries along the way!

That noted, I'd be curious to find if there are any particularly measurable "sensory" or "perception" type effects that could be part of a large inquiry. As in, does prolonged exposure change visual or auditory type input/processing/etc? It's curious to me because of seemingly how adaptive our senses can be in various environments (light versus dim), certain noises can be tuned out, and that sort of stuff. Maybe a large bombardment of space radiation or lack of gravity dulls our inner ear?

This way if the twins have measurable baselines and can take identical tests concurrently (one on Earth, one in orbit), then maybe the results could be worth reviewing...or not! Because science!
