Research interests have included basic theoretical formulations and applied application recognizing that sensory deprivation conditions do exist naturally and possibly will do so more frequently in the future. When this original program for "Studies in Sensory Deprivation" was devised in 1959, it was certainly generally accepted from the results of studies elsewhere that if healthy normal people were placed for varying lengths of time in situations where there was reduced stimulation, the various phenomena
