Sensory Deprivation Therapy

Sensory Deprivation Therapy is a common torture/interrogation/re-education procedure, most commonly used by Imperial ISB agents, such as the infamous interrogator Korynn Fleming.

Traditionally, the subject of SDT is contained in an environment that completely deprives the subject of any senses. Special head devices which block out all sight, sound, and smells, body-suits that use micro-vibrations or surface anaesthetics to remove all sense of touch, and other such contraptions are a major part of the torture.

Humans deprived of all senses for an extended period of time would first enter a stage of helpless rage. Eventually, the subject would enter into a state of surrender, following a state of delirium, in which the subject loses track of time, reality, location, even memories of his own life and personality. Non-humans react differently, some worse, some not at all, and over varying degrees of effectiveness.

Often, SDT is aided by the use of precisional additions of sense. Most commonly this involves the use of a synthesized droning sound, or the forcing open of a subject's eyes followed by the addition of a generic light source. These techniques often quicken the pace in which a subject will reach delirium.
