A group of French volunteers have emerged from a cave after a 40-day study exploring the limits of human adaptability to isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 15 participants lived in the Lombrives cave in south-west France with no phones, clocks or sunlight. They slept in tents, made their own electricity, and had no contact with the outside world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project aimed to test how people respond to losing their sense of time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During their isolation, the group had to organise tasks without being able to use a measure of time to create deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, they had to rely on their body clocks and sleep cycles to structure their days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the cave, they had few modern comforts at their disposal. For example, volunteers had to generate their own electricity with a pedal bike and draw water from a well 45 m (146 ft) below the earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
