[html]Jeff Laaben (2007) <a href="http://www.mindmachine.ru/eng/avs/">AVS Journal</a> translation: Yuliya Lukyanenko, Vladimir NikonovWhen we are dealing with various "smart" devices, it is necessary to note that two of the most spectacular discoveries was the flotation and mind machines.These findings received rave reviews, as well as more in demand than others. People began to wonder, what would happen when connecting light and sound mind machine to touch a closed chamber. Light and sound experiments can produce almost psychedelic hallucinations, so you should do them in the flotation chamber without any external influences. <img src="/articles/pic/floattank.jpg" alt="Flotation cell"> Flotation cellthe Only way such experiments were promising and dynamic. This experience can resemble a journey. So back to the question: why study sensory stimulation must take place in such a closed environment? Doesn't that contradict the main idea of flotation cell? The answer was: why not?If some of the people wanted to make an experiment in light and sound camera, why not give them a chance. This experiment could be the new "healthy" journey (trip) century without drugs. In the end, the inventor of the flotation cells, Dr <a href="http://www.koob.ru/lilly_john/">John K. Lilly</a>, compared with drugs that cause hallucinations and described the experience carried out inside the chamber, in his book called <a href="http://www.koob.ru/lilly_john/lilly_the ... ne">«Центр Cyclone"</a>. <img src="/articles/pic/LILLYPIC-4.jpg" alt="John C.

Lilly</a>Then, in 1980, the premiere of the film about altered States, which was represented by a psychedelic episodes inside the flotation cell. I couldn't resist the challenge to know for sure how it interacts with the light and sound within it. Remained a mystery, how to protect electronic equipment from corrosion in solution (Epsom salt) and water. I started to meet friends and visitors, who were engineers in the field of solutions to this problem. We had to figure out how to connect headphones and light glasses that they worked under water, and the components are not subjected to corrosion. It was also necessary to ensure the safety of the customer. the Decision didn't take long to find out. We are already immersed under water some headphones. We bought them cheap, ordered at Radio Shack ($ 1 to $ 6 for each). It was the standard headphones for iPods. It turns out that they can function perfectly in salt water for a month or longer. Once they go bad, they can throw it away and buy a new one. Threats of electrical safety will not occur when using light and sound systems, low voltage, e.g., battery power (unit), say, 4 AA batteries. You don't need to use any plugs that connects to the wall. Luminous glasses is another story. They require a circuit Board with the led pulsed light. To protect the circuit from exposure to water, we used silicon and quicklime, and then put it all in the glass, while allowing light to penetrate freely through the holes at the top. Everything was just. Headphones and light glasses connected to a plastic battery operated portable light and sound controller, which was located in a closed protective bag. Everything else was placed on rattanowy table (booth) and was outside the chamber door, giving the visitor time to put on the headphones and glasses in front of the camera, and then someone from the outside just pressed the "Play" button and began the session.for two months we offered the brave free sessions on any treatments (AquaNaut) to study this new technique combos. The experiment worked perfectly, without any flaw. After two months of collecting subjective data, the result was announced. Almost no one likes combos. Similar complaints was the fact that two different technologies working in different directions and interfere with each other. Camera could work without touch input. A sound and light experience was useful for maintaining mental concentration caused by a pulsed light and sound. Both seemed incompatible. Conclusion was: we did it! br> the results Obtained were: no one liked it. We learned the following: you need time to move on to something more noble experiment. It is important to keep in mind that light and sound technology were not as advanced as today, when we did this experiment. Jeff Laaben (2007) translation: Yuliya Lukyanenko, Vladimir Nikonov[/html]<
