As Grof notes, sensory deprivation involves "significant reduction of meaningful sensory stimuli. In its extreme form, the individual is deprived of sensory input by total submersion in a dark and soundproof tank filled with water of body temperature. Another well-known laboratory method of changing consciousness is biofeedback, where the individual is guided by electronic feedback signals into holotropic states of consciousness characterized by preponderance of certain specific frequencies of brainwaves. We could also mention here the techniques of sleep and dream deprivation and lucid dreaming."<ref>Grof, Stanislav. ———. “Psychology For the Future: Lessons from Modern Consciousness Research.” ''Spirituality Studies'' 2, no. 1 (2016): 3–36. p. 5</ref>

Sensory Deprivation

Sensory Deprivation is a Connection Technique that involves "significant reduction of meaningful sensory stimuli." [1]

List of Connection Techniques

Notes

As Grof notes, sensory deprivation involves "significant reduction of meaningful sensory stimuli. In its extreme form, the individual is deprived of sensory input by total submersion in a dark and soundproof tank filled with water of body temperature. Another well-known laboratory method of changing consciousness is biofeedback, where the individual is guided by electronic feedback signals into holotropic states of consciousness characterized by preponderance of certain specific frequencies of brainwaves. We could also mention here the techniques of sleep and dream deprivation and lucid dreaming."[2]
