Alone

In this video, a team a scientist conduct an experiment where the people are going to be left alone (some in pitch black room, while others with there no noise, googles so they can't see and restraining devices so they can touch or feel) for 48 hours. However they are going to be able to get water, protein bar and bring a portable toilet so they can go do there business.
The purpose of this experiment is to discover the impact of sensory depravation as it was use as a weapon in many countries especially now that the us is in a war on terror.
This method was first used in the Korean War where many us and Canadians where put in solitary and it seems as they where brain washed.
During there time in solitary, the people would start to pace around the room for hours at a time. They would get very anxious and desperate , waking up in the middle of sleep. One subject said that he would become doubtful of everything, Are there people out there? even , Am I alive?
It became clear that the brain started to slow down.
The results of the test where really bad. In the Visual Memory test, the people struggled to remember and concentrate . It was said that there memory capacity went down 36%. In the Information test, the one where the subject were ask to say the color of the word instead of what it said. The people had a lot of difficulty controlling there urges to say the color written. It took them 69% percent longer and they made 6 times many more mistakes.
It conclusion, we need sensory stimulation to me able to function properly. It is never good to be left completely Alone.
