Sensory Deprivation


At the beginning of the video I didn’t knew anything about what sensory deprivation was. Now I know it is a process, which deprives someone of normal external stimuli such as sight and sound for an extended period of time. Imagine how would it be if you could see, smell, taste, touch or hear? AWFULL.

Reducing the mental ability to process information is part of the harsh treatment on people with sensory deprivation, though it is known to have an impact on memory, language, social interaction, and vision. Scientists use this experimental technique in to prove these effects it has on people. On this video “alone”, six individuals volunteer them selves for scientists to make their experiment that took 48 hours. These people were locked in individual dark rooms with no one to talk to and they were being recorded throughout their isolation and suffering. Some walked back and forth after several hours, another was hallucinating things that were not there, and they began to talk in a hilarious way. This is all cause of a lack of stimulation. In my opinion we all need to be grateful for who we are since we have no problems with our body and we complain about insignificant things while others are really suffering.
