''But researchers don't exactly know why yet.'' Ms Walker said it was already known human cognitive function, or brain performance, improved in space. His team was interested in how the human brain and body were affected by extreme environments. Mr Klein had first used ADInstruments equipment as part of his PhD studies at the University of the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland. Scientific content developer Sina Walker said German sport physiology researcher Timo Klein, part of a research team from the Institute of Movement and Neurosciences at the German Sport University in Cologne, was using the product. It was one of the first to move into the city's warehouse precinct, helping pave the way for the area's redevelopment.
