Sensory deprivation means losing sense of the normal stimulation that we orient ourselves with. It's good to give ourselves a break from experience for a bit, but not long-term.
People who are habitually sensory-deprived can:
* become hypersensitive to stimulation
* lose track of time and space
* hallucinate (audial/visual)
* experience anxiety/depression
* experience incoherence / poor thinking
(Basically, think a mind with a lesser connection with the "real world.")
You are not only losing input from your environment but relationships (since relationships are "input" as well), so imagine what happens when someone is locked up in isolation for awhile.

If you're talking about torture ~~ It could be really messed up! If you're talking about voluntary Experiments~~like a sensory deprivation chamber ~~ it could cause the person to hallucinate or remember obscure things from their past ~~~~ If a person is in an accident where they lose sight, or hearing the other senses are suppose to increase to make up for the one that's lost.
