This video looks at the effects of isolation on the human mind. Six people volunteered to undergo isolation as part of an experiment to see what happens to the brain when it is "deprived of stimulation." Some were kept in total darkness and some were forced to listen to continual white noise. Solitary confinement has been used as a form of punishment in prisons, and in light of its common use in prisons such as Guantanamo, scientists are interested in learning how this affects our brains.
