I cast this seed into various newsgroups, in the hope that somebody will have the information (that VGER requires?): to wit, I am looking for plans for the building of a sensory deprivation chamber. The idea seems simple enough, but I haven't the foggiest of where to look for construction details, etc. If you have a clue, can name sources, or have any ideas on the subject, please email. If the subject warrants general discussion, let's have a go: _Altered States_, the researches of John Lilly, and other tidbits have piqued my curiosity, to the point that I've decided to try and build on meself. TIA (thanks in advance). "It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago"

TIA (thanks in advance). > >"It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago" > The movie's story was fictious, but the name 'altered state' and the research effort was real (I guess you knew). A book named something like '3 pound universe' mentioned Dr. Lilly's research in a chapter also covering the concept of altered state. It may have some pointers to more references. Also, because the researchers were real, you can trace them to find and ask how they did it (half :-) One of the basics was a sonically isolated bathtub filled with a liquid of exactly same gravity as our body. Hope this help. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Wan C. Yoon US.
