    Examples of past experiments

    Here are some examples of experiments performed by scientists during past parabolic flight opportunities.

    Integrative gravitational physiology
    Gravity induced changes of neuronal excitability in the human brain, measured by changes in slow cortical potential electroencephalography (SCP-EEG)
    Research areas: Human Physiology, Neurobiology
    For more information: ERASMUS Experiment Archive

    Physics of plasmas and solid/liquid dust particles
    Behaviour of dense granular matter in 0-g under vibration
    Research area: Granular systems
    For more information: ERASMUS Experiment Archive

    Physics of plasmas and solid/liquid dust particles
    Dust structures and laser manipulation in dusty plasmas under microgravity
    Research area: Particle agglomeration
    For more information: ERASMUS Experiment Archive

    Flight day 3 - monitoring experiments
    An experiment in nucleate boiling

    Many other examples of experiments can be found in the Erasmus Experiment Archive.
