Sensory_Deprivation

Sensory Deprivation Sensory Deprivation One of the more controversial and underground studies in the medical/psychological field is “Sensory Deprivation”. Which is artificially produced deprivation of all of the five physical senses – hearing, smelling, sight, taste, and touch (McGuffin 2). Some people are born without certain senses or lose them later on in life through a traumatic experience, or certain diseases such as diabetes. People who have been deprived of a certain sense for example sight, notice that their other senses have grown more acute. They can hear sounds, and smell things that other people with all of their senses cannot. Imagine that you were deprived of all five of your senses and you were left with nothing but thought' Would you be able to reach parts of your subconscious mind that you never knew existed' There have been many experiments done on sensory deprivation for various reasons. Experiments were done on the astronauts of the Mercury and Apollo programs to simulate the isolation of space that they would encounter on the way to the moon (Snow 95).
