The NASA-funded HI-SEAS project (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) aims to study how groups of astronauts might perform during months-long human expeditions to the planet Mars.
There are currently six such pseudo-nauts living in a specially constructed base at the 8,200 foot elevation on Mauna Loa.
Canadian-born Professor Binsted obtained her PhD in artificial intelligence at the University of Edinburgh, with a thesis on "Computational Modelling of Punning Riddles."
She is now a full professor in the Information and Computer Sciences Department at the University of Hawaii, where she researches artificial intelligence, human-computer interfaces, and long-duration human space exploration. She is the Principal Investigator of the current HI-SEAS missions.
