Human Sensory Deprivation Experiment

The Human Sensory Deprivation Experiment investigates how removing or limiting sensory input—such as sight, sound, or touch—affects a person's mental state. Participants are placed in a controlled environment with minimal sensory stimuli to observe changes in perception, emotion, and cognition. This research helps us understand how our senses influence our consciousness and mental health, shedding light on phenomena like hallucinations or disorientation that can occur when sensory inputs are restricted. It has applications in psychology, neuroscience, and even therapy, providing insights into the brain’s adaptability and response to sensory deprivation.
