	NAI: Teams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The research efforts of the Ames Team integrate a variety of disciplines around three scientific themes that address the context for life, the origin and early evolution of life, and the future of life both on Earth and in the environment of space.
		Thus, the focus of this research is on the origin and physical state of water, a study that depends on the sources of the water, the cycling of water and other volatiles between the surface and interior of a planet, and the detailed climate of the planet.
		Research by the Ames Team is also examing the effects of rapid environmental change on ecosystem properties and the potential for survival and biological evolution beyond the planet of origin.

	NASA Ames Research Center
		The involvement of Ames in SETI stemmed from John Billingham, head of the center's Biotechnology Division, who in 1970 convinced Ames Director Hans Mark that a small-scale study of the problems of interstellar communication was justified.
		Eventually, a less ambitious scheme was developed jointly by Ames and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory known as the High Resolution Microwave Survey, the targeted portion of which was the responsibility of Ames.
		Recently, researchers at Ames created cell-like bubbles in a laboratory simulation of an interstellar molecular cloud (see life, origin) and reported finding evidence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in space.

		In many critical aerospace tasks, such as flying a helicopter at low altitude under low-contrast conditions or landing the shuttle after several weeks of adaptation to microgravity, human performance in self-motion estimation is pushed to its limits, yet any perceptual error could have disastrous consequences.
		The goal of this research project is to identify visual conditions under which humans are likely to make perceptual errors in visual motion judgments and to understand at the neural level why these errors occur, as part of a strategy to develop methods of preventing or mitigating them.
		The specific aims are 1) to develop predictive biologically-based models of human performance in heading estimation and related motion perception tasks, and 2) to identify empirically those conditions that lead to human error as part of an effort to test, refine, and validate some models, while ruling out others.
