sensory deprivation
Stimulus removal therapy
Sensory deprivation is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more senses.
In controlled settings like flotation tanks, people seek it for relaxation or meditation, floating in darkness and silence.
Extended or involuntary sensory deprivation—as in solitary confinement—can cause hallucinations, anxiety, and psychological distress.
The spa offers sensory deprivation tanks for stress relief.
