Abstract
In this paper I will attempt to summarize the results of 15 years of sensory deprivation research relevant to 13 hypotheses in 10 minutes. For more details I suggest you obtain a copy of the hook edited by John Zubek[l9] entitled Sensory Deprivation:Fifteen Years of Research. One chapter is devoted to hallucinatory phenomena[23].
