Abstract

Research is summarized on work in the following four areas: (1) central nervous system, peripheral physiologi cal endocrinological and psychological responses of body and field oriented subjects to experimental situations characterized by uncertainty, social and sensory isolation and limitation of movement; (2) analysis of personality, physiological and central nervous system correlates of body and field perceptual modes and the exploration of other individual determinants of the response to low sensory input experiments; (3) a study of the influence of drugs acting on central nervous system in body and field oriented subjects in low sensory input experiments; and (4) an exploratory study of the influence of a psychochemical (LSD) on response to two hour low sensory input experimental conditions.
