In the dark, the human mind
begins to lose its grip, causing test subjects to experience visual and aural
hallucinations. A Study done by psychologist Peter Suedfeld from the University
College London said when a group of people is placed in a dark, quiet room,
many start hallucinating after just a few minutes. The participants who were
not prone to hallucinations started hallucinating after 15 minutes. What we saw
for sensory deprivation hallucinations is that when there is no information
coming in (the brain), the brain produces an alternate reality of what is
supposed to be there, some experiences were reported to be unpleasant. Same
thing happens when you take hallucinogenic drugs.
