You can rent a sensory deprivation take for an hour in NYC. It's less than a hundred bucks. I thought about it for a while, but then decided against it after thinking about all those Gitmo prisoners who ended up with permanent brain damage.

One thing about renting a tank for an hour that makes it quite different from what's done at Gitmo is that you're free to get out of the tank at any time. If you're curious, I'd recommend doing it.

Right I realize doing it voluntarily for an hour is a lot different than being left in there for six days against your will after being beaten and injected with god knows what.

Then again, the guy who invented these tanks thought that dolphins were talking to him.

Heh, sorry to state the obvious. I had such a good time in the tank that I tend to be a bit of an evangelist. If you trust them at all, it's also been studied by the National Institute of Mental Health and they think it's safe.

Cool, can you email me, I'd like to ask you more about it but your email isn't in your profile.
