#NEW DELHI: Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian astronaut on the International Space Station, is working to develop a brain-computer interface in the orbital lab, said NASA on Thursday.

Shukla, part of the Axiom Space mission-4, used near-infrared technology to develop the interface in the Columbus laboratory module aboard the orbiting lab along with a fellow astronaut from Poland.

"Ax-4 crewmates Shubhanshu Shukla and Sławosz Uznański-Wieniewski partnered together in Columbus and studied using near-infrared technology to record brain activity for constructing brain-computer interfaces," NASA shared in a blog post.
