Sensory deprivation

A description of the patient s actions before admission to the hospital often provides valuable clues to the diagnosis. Since PCP seems to diminish the user s ability to integrate sensory input into meaningful behavior (Pender 1971), symptoms and findings suggesting this problem should be sought. A demonstration of sensory deprivation was provided by a patient who was found head down in a dumpster filled with garbage. He was nude and the weather was cold, but he didn t seem to be uncomfortable. He also... [Pg.224]

The stress on enhanced experiencing as the fundamental characteristic of these substances leads, in the literature, to a stress on the importance of the setting in which the drug is taken. In order for the enhanced capacity for experience created by these substances to show itself, an adequate range of stimuli must first be available to be experienced. Administration of psychedelics under conditions of sensory deprivation seems to abolish... [Pg.4]

Sensory deprivation is a technique, the purposes and results of which I am not sure. Generally it includes earplugs, masks over the eyes, avoidance of tactile sensation or stimulation of skin, and deliberate relaxation, as well as tanks of warm water. Classical and operant conditioning can affect what one likes, dislikes, fears, enjoys, remembers or forgets. [Pg.186]

Generators of random ( white ) noise have been used, in combination with other measures, as a tool to break down the psychological resistance of prisoners during interrogation. The purpose of the noise in this case is twofold. Firstly, it is unpleasant and disturbing. Secondly, it prevents the hearing of other sounds enabling a person to orient himself, that is, it results in sensory deprivation (Ref 14)... [Pg.361]

It has been known for many years that the human brain is dependent for its norman functioning on a regular input of sensory stimuli. Sensory deprivation leads to hallucinations and finally to mental breakdown. The use of these sensory deprivation techniques by British forces in Northern Ireland(Ref 7) was the subject of an official investigation (Ref 4). This commission concluded that physical torture had not been used. But a commission set up by Amnesty International concluded that the technique clearly amounted to brutality and was dangerous both to the immediate mental health of the individual subjected to this treatment and to the long-term health of some subjects (Ref S) See also under Sound as a Weapon in Vol 9 Refs 1)G.C.

The isolation implied in the apparent sensory deprivation of a helplessly horizontal man is especially frightening. The anticipation of that period of isolation demands relief. [Pg.369]

Reduction of sensory input to a level as near zero as possible is a potent technique for inducing d-ASCs. in the fifties and early sixties, there were many sensory deprivation experiments during which the subject lay comfortably in a dark, quiet room without moving. The findings were interpreted as showing that if the brain did not receive sufficient sensory input, the subject went "crazy." it is now clear 46, 55 that practically all these studies were severely contaminated,... [Pg.92]

The effects of taking PCP are unique. At lower doses, the drug causes stimulation while at higher doses, it tends to have a depressant effect. Most people find a PCP high to be disturbing because of the sense of separation from the body it produces. In fact, taking PCP results in the same type of experiences that sensory deprivation does, such as altered awareness of the boundaries of the body and dissociation from body parts. This strange sensation makes many people panic. Such people have been known to seriously harm themselves and others. [Pg.408]

Brasilite, as a term, also underscores how the built environment affects those who dwell in it. Compared to life in Rio and Sao Paulo, with their color and variety, the daily round in bland, repetitive, austere Brasilia must have resembled life in a sensory deprivation tank. The recipe for high-modernist urban planning, while it may have created formal order and functional segregation, did so at the cost of a sensorily impoverished and monotonous environment—an environment that inevitably took its toll on the spirits of its residents. [Pg.126]

Environment Cold, heat, sensory deprivation, or overload and oxygen deprivation in high altitude can interact with medication. [Pg.29]

Mutation of daf-2 thus confers insulin-resistance on worms. Interestingly, the same effect can be achieved by sensory deprivation.2 If a nematode thinks there is no food available, it produces less insulin and survives for longer, even if food is in reality abundant — and even if the nematode actually eats it. In the worm, then, longevity can be decoupled from metabolism through the power of thought (or at least the power of delusion). [Pg.247]

Lilly s work [34, 35], in which a mature person uses the ultimate in sensory deprivation (floating in body-temperature water in the quiet and dark) as a tool, under his oum direction, to explore consciousness, should be consulted by anyone interested in this area. Lilly s use of sensory deprivation as a tool under the subject s own control, rather than as a treatment," imposed by people who are studying craziness," is a breakthrough in research in this area. Suffice it to note here that sensory deprivation, by removing a major source of loading stabilization by the exteroceptors, can be a major tool for inducing d-ASCs and deserves much study. [Pg.93]
