 Hello, I'm Ari Barbash, a professor at Washington State University and I've been doing research in restricted environmental stimulation, the dry flotation, the wet flotation and chamber rest since the 1970s when we did the first research on hypnosis and EEG and the effects of isolation in Antarctica. My talk today is primarily on a study where we tested the effects of dry flotation rest, which is the least available and used form of rest on enhancing hypnotizability for pain control and that's exactly what we were able to find. Rest is a very powerful tool for the enhancement of both psychological and physiological functioning.
