sensory deprivation tanks.

<p>So to those of you who do not know, a sensory tank or chamber is a pod filled with 12in of high salinity sanitized water and when its sealed its noice canceling and pitch black. The point of this device is for someone to get in the tank and float on water that is the same temperature as the air, feeling almost suspended in air, whilst not being able to see nor hear. The individual usually stays in about an hour and after a session or two under someone’s belt floating turns into a powerful tool in enhancing ones cognition and consciousness and gives the ability to focus on problems or research without distraction. Creativity is tapped and fuzzy ideas become profound concepts. We as humans have always sought to leave the rustling and bustling word and to put a hold on this madness. Victims of stressful exams, relationships, jobs, video game designing, money problems and life in general all have caused many just to want to run away. We end up turning our phone off or procrastinating to not face to horrendous task ahead. Providing people a place to just turn everything off and contemplate major decisions while relaxed and letting the brain work at its peak potential is nothing less the necessary in maintaining a happy and more successful life. </p>

<p>Anyway my reason for posting this is how many people would like to see this around their community or university? Very important I get feedback guys I want to make a business put of this! People need this and the empirical evidence along with anecdotal makes it blatant how beneficial it would be for college kids. </p>

<p>All comments would be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>I applaud your vision and entrepreneurial spirit. However, I would be concerned about the reported dysphoric effects ranging from anxiety to paranoia to panic as hallucinations ensue. Just as with psychotropic drugs, the experience is not for everybody. Furthermore, a surprisingly high percentage of the population suffer from claustrophobia as any MRI technician can affirm. But for the individuals who have “the right stuff,” I would imagine the exploration might be very worthwhile…let me think about this…Ok, so you are targeting college students who are generally into experimentation…the greater market may be as a unique recreational experience as opposed to the meditative tool you envision. Might be more cost effective to sell herbal meditative aids.</p>

<p>Sensory deprivation would be interesting, but being sealed in a tank sounds terrifying.</p>
