- Sensory deprivation is the removal of external stimuli. It can range from the use of blindfolds and headphones to block out light and noise to immersion in a salt water tank to similarly prevent exposure to light, sound, touch, smell and taste. Short term sensory deprivation is often used as anti-anxiety therapy, as the removal of stimuli can aid in relaxation and meditation. However, even after a few hours, prolonged sensory deprivation can lead to anxiety, hallucinations and even psychosis.
