Lilly's Experiments

Lilly's experiments, primarily conducted by neuroscientist John C. Lilly, focused on understanding consciousness and the human brain. He is well-known for his use of sensory deprivation tanks, which allowed individuals to float in saltwater and experience reduced stimuli. This environment led to altered states of consciousness, prompting insights into mental processes and self-awareness. Lilly also explored communication with dolphins, investigating their intelligence and potential ways humans could interact with them. His work contributed to the fields of psychology, neurobiology, and animal behavior, sparking interest in both human consciousness and animal cognition.
