In October 1991 the first Austrian cosmonaut spent one week on board the Soviet

space station MIR. One of the 14 experiments carried out there was AKG's AUDIMIR,

a psychoacoustics technological experiment. AUDIMIR was designed to investigate

the accuracy of directional hearing and its role as part of the human orientation system

at microgravity.
