Inside the black room
"Vernon, Jack A."
Inside the black room - London Souvenir Press 1965 - 203p.
A fascinating study of sensory deprivation research that details the experiments trialled in America into what happens to the human brain when it lacks stimuli. Studies included effects on the perceived passage of time, effects of continual darkness, tests on propaganda, and endurance of low stimulus conditions. Tests were conducted on willing (compensated and uncompensated) volunteers who could leave at any time, but intriguingly, most did not, even when unpaid. Recommended for its insights into human resourcefulness, as well as a snapshot of history - the experiments took place during the Cold War.
