So I havent seen anything up on here yet about sensory deprivation and using it to help you WILD. Now recently I've been reading a bit on the ganzfeld effect. Basically what this is, is a technique used to cause the same effect as sensory deprivation chambers.

What you need: 2 ping pong balls (preferably white but color doesn't seem to overly matter), headphones (noise canceling work the best, but as long as there's no disruptive outside noise any should work) and either an online source or an ipod/mp3 to play just white noise/pink noise/ static. Also in the experiments they used a red light (colored lights are cheap and at walmart, but this item really isn't very necessary)

Now what you do is take a ping-pong ball and cut in half. Most ping pong balls have writing on one side so use the side without the writing. Now here you can plug in a red/blue/green colored light bulb but as long as you have a mild light source you should be fine. Basically the halved ping pong balls are going to go over your eyes. Feel free to file the pokey edges down with a nail file or whatever you need to do to make them more comfortable and then use a mild tape (not duct tape) to make sure they are secure. You should just see a white field in front of your eyes wherever you look. Nothing too bright either, just sort of a mild fuzzy whiteness.

Now put your head phones in and turn on the white noise. What is happening here is that your brain gets used to having no visual/ auditory data coming in externally so it makes its own. I've tried in once (not in combo with a WILD yet) and you basically go into HI with your eyes open. What I'm thinking is I'll put these on when I WILD and try to stay awake, in this state it's actually pretty hard and combine that with the WILD technique and or the lucid dreaming pill combo (Galantamind, Alpha GPC, L-Theanine) and it may work quite well.

Side note: If it's something you want to try I encourage everyone to do their own research. I'll post my results on here in the next few days and let everyone know how it goes.
