- Abstract: This issue of the Korean Journal of Aerospace and Environmental Medicine (Vol.36, No. 1) presents five articles addressing emerging topics in aerospace medicine, aeromedical evaluation, and space medicine policy. An original article proposes a neuro-adaptive cockpit communication support system integrating artificial intelligence and neurophysiological monitoring to reduce pilot cognitive workload and enhance situational awareness. Another original study examines the prevalence and aeromedical implications of cardiac conduction abnormalities among Korean Air Force pilots, providing evidence for risk-based surveillance strategies in aeromedical screening. A review article discusses the clinical value of the video head impulse test for quantitative assessment of vestibular function in pilots exposed to high-acceleration flight environments. Another review revisits the historical development and current relevance of the “1% rule,” a widely used framework for aeromedical risk assessment in aviation safety. Finally, a brief communication summarizes a panel discussion on the future development of space medicine in Korea, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and national research governance.
