The Deep Self: Consciousness Exploration in the Isolation Tank
Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Science & Math
John C. Lilly, the physician and neuroscientist who devised the isolation tank, describes how floating in darkness and silence can be used to explore consciousness. This Gateways edition reissues the 1977 Simon and Schuster book. Lilly distinguishes physical isolation from sensory deprivation and sets out his idea of a mind not contained by the brain. Chapters reprint his 1956 and 1961 papers on isolation experiments, give standards for building and using tanks and collect logs of tank sessions.
