Yes. After a while your brain would begin to make it's own sensations. Don't forget it is your brain that sees, not your eyes! It is your brain that hears, not your ears; It is your brain that feels, smells and tastes, not your skin, nose and tongue.
Autistic people experience a phenomena called 'white noise.' This is where the sensory system is not tuned to the outside world, but tuned to the background stimulation, which our own bodily and mental system makes. Migraine sufferers experience a little bit of this when they get a visual display before a migraine. Have you ever experienced the tingling of a body part we call 'pins and needles.? - These are sensory experiences created by your own system!
So really, there is no such thing as complete sensory deprivation!
Hope that helps.
Michael.

I agree whole heatedly with above answers but I deal with the handicapped (serious) and they deal with mood swings, violent tempers,... many disorders stem from their lack of sensory functions be it from the brain or the organ. Just my experiences with it of course:-)

For the sake of semantics, while I otherwise agree with Michael R, the brain "perceives", the eyes and ears "sense". Otherwise, I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't know if it is for COMPLETE deprivation BUT Helen Keller did pretty well with what little she had.

Prisoners of war have done this very thing, by occupying their minds with pleasent memories of the past.
