I was amazed by the acoustic chamber. Ivan's explanation from the first video was fascinating. I think I started to hear my blood flow very soon after going inside. We also waited around one minute to start hearing our heartbeats. I found it very intriguing, what Ivan said, that after some time the mind starts hallucinating by trying to match sound patterns from our memory to silence. I never thought that I might be claustrophobic, but staying in there with this amazing silence could cause real panic. I didn't even know how thankful we should be to real-life noise for keeping our minds from doing weird things. Thanks to Ivan and Tim for the invitation!
