Why sensory deprivation is bad

381 views

I’ve read that quiet rooms and pitch black apparently cause hallucinations and whatnot because the brain is always looking for stimulus. Why is a break in stimulus not good? Can’t the brain just be like “aw yeah, silence let’s chill”?

Well, the brain is a curious organ, always seeking stimulation

Without any input, it starts making up its own entertainment, which could be a bit trippy in a pitch black room.
