The tank was invented by John Lily, pioneering neuronaut. They are wonderful
for thought and introspection. The problem with the bathroom version is the
exquisite temperature control (93F , skin temperature) needed to keep the
illusion of no skin boundary. Moist warm air is needed to keep a sensation of
cooling from evaporation. Also, depending on your dwelling structure, with
your ears in the salt water, you can detect any small floor vibrations, foot
teps, trucks rumbling in the distance. All the se small sensations provide
areminder of the body, and break the spell...When near perfect conditions are
attained, the sensation is limitless and transhuman !
