Sensory Deprivation

Being trapped in a mini-sized room  for 48 hours without light must be very difficult to support. A study was made with several volunteers and they were deprived of several senses like the ones we take for granted. (taste, smell, hearing, sight, or touch). Six people were under the deprivation of senses for the long 48 hours and they were somewhat tortured. In sensory deprivation, the brain is deprived of stimulation. Each one of them was tested before and after the experiment. Scientists wanted to know how deprivation affected the brain and how much did it change someone´s aility to think. Through the whole experiment they were filmed and observed non stopping. Weird reactions started to show after about 24 hours in the dark room. People who are more reserved and spend much more time reading and indoors without much interaction with people are the ones who support this conditions the best, because they are somehow used to it. People who are used to be around people interacting all the time are the ones who suffer the worse. Long time ago, in wars, this was used as a torture against soldiers. When people went out after the 48 hours, they enjoyed things in the environment they would have never cared before like the flowers of bird songs.
