isolation tank
Sensory deprivation pod
An isolation tank is a lightless, soundproof chamber filled with body-temperature saltwater, designed to eliminate external sensory input.
The high salt concentration allows effortless floating.
Used for meditation, relaxation, and therapeutic purposes, isolation tanks create an environment of near-total sensory deprivation: She spent an hour in the isolation tank to decompress.
Also called a sensory deprivation tank or float tank.
