Ever wondered what 48 hours of total darkness isolation would do to you?
Well it turns out, that it makes you hallucinate BIG TIME! The hallucinations were not only visually either, auditory and touch sensory was affected by the total darkness.
This was covered by BBC. Three participants were put into sound proof, total dark, and unchanging rooms. Its safe to say that they were extremely weirded out by the experience. After they emerged from the rooms the three participants were put through a rigorous series of task that they had to perform.
I found this very amusing. I have been interested in the affects of isolation on the human mind for quite sometime. Not only the negative effects, but beneficial uses of controlled isolation, to kind of clean out the mind, and get to know yourself a little better. Without all of the external distractions in our daily lives.
Enjoy!

Nice post, Jessie! Man, I would never want to experience this. Although it would be interesting life experience, my god, it sounds absolutely tortuous.
Imagine if you took it to the next level and was restrained completely, not allowed food or water. No movement of hands, fingers, eyelids, etc. Yeah, I gotta stop thinking about this hahaha
All I gotta say about this is uhh . . .
NO THANKS.
Thanks! Imagining anything further than that would probably have some long lasting consequence. Haha like you said i would only do it for the experience.
They should try this with more mindful and conscience aware individuals like monks aboriginal shaman , artists, or even an already blind man .....Defintley alot you could throw at this study
It would definitely be a different ball game if they did. There is a lot to learn about how the mind works when it comes to isolation. Your mind starts doing all kinds of strange things when put under pressure.
