This week we explore the connection between our minds and our senses by plunging into the dark, soundproof containers they call sensory deprivation tanks.  Can they induce psychedelic experiences or allow you to talk to your dead cat?  Can they reduce anxiety and stress?  Can they make you go mad?  Or are they just a great place to take a well-needed nap?  Tune in to find out!
