I think it's very important that we're looking at the impact of sensory deprivation,
我認為研究感官剝奪對大腦影響意義重大，
particularly when we think of the number of places around the world
尤其當我們意識到全世界有這么多地方
where sensory deprivation's being used as a weapon and being used as an aid to interrogation.
都將感官剝奪，當成武器和審訊手段。
We know that stimulation helps to increase connections within the brain
我們知道感官刺激能增強大腦內(nèi)部聯(lián)系，
that speed the flow of information around the brain,
從而加速信息在大腦中周轉(zhuǎn)的速度，
but there have been relatively few studies of the impact of a reduction in sensory stimulation.
但是對感官刺激減少所產(chǎn)生的影響，我們研究得比較少。
So it's quite a useful thing to see whether you get a reduction in that ability to process information effectively.
因此我們的研究非常有實際意義，它能揭示人有效處理信息的能力是否下降。
For 48 hours our subjects will not just be left alone.

Every effort will be made to starve their senses of any kind of stimulation.
科學(xué)家會盡量不讓他們接受任何感官刺激。
For hour after hour some will lie in pitch-black rooms, unable to see or hear anything.
他們中的一些會一直躺在漆黑的房間里，既看不到也聽不到任何東西。
Others will endure even greater deprivations.
另一些人則會遭受強度更大的感官剝奪。
They will have their sense of touch cut off, their eyesight severely impaired,
他們的觸覺會被隔離，視覺會被阻礙，
and all they will hear is the endless drone of white noise.
他們唯一能聽到的將是綿綿不絕的白噪音。
