Research Evaluation

Primary Research.

For some of my primary research I talked and asked my interviewee questions about him, his life and if he knew what sensory depuration is and why he was interested in it. I also went around my class and asked my fellow course students a questionnaire about sensory depuration and got their responses in the form of a tally chart. I asked different questions like "Do you know what sensory depuration is?", "Would you take part in it?", "Do you think its a good idea?" and "How long can you last?". When I was asking my interviewee questions before he started I collected some screen shots of our conversation. 

Secondary Research.

Doing secondary research required more effort because it was mainly looking into other peoples work like articles, and videos of their experiments and tests. I looked into different types and styles of ways to do this and one of which I looked into was a. Isolation Tank which is basically a closed off tank with water in it allowing you to just float there. Another way of doing this is by using isolation pods, these don't have any water in them they are usually a dark empty pod which sometimes can have cousions in them but are usually empty blocking off the outside world. After reading what different types of ways there are to do this, we started to think of how we could do this without having to pay out for one. At first we wanted to use a card board box but then wanted to use a disability toilet as it had a light switch, but ended up using a spare room but blocked of all light.
