thumb An<unk> , sensory deprivation<unk> , float<unk> , float pod, float cabin, flotation<unk> , or sensory attenuation<unk>  is a pitch-black, light-proof, soundproof environment heated to the same temperature as the skin, developed in 1954 by John C. Lilly. Flotation<unk> s are widely advertised as a form of alternative medicine. The<unk>  is filled with 10 inches of water which contains enough dissolved Epsom salt to create a specific gravity of approximately 1.25–1.26. This environment allows an individual to float effortlessly on the surface of the water. The primary function of the<unk>  is to eliminate as many of the external senses as possible. They were first used in 1954 to test the effects of sensory deprivation.
