“Have you been living under a rock?” If you were to ask this question to Beatriz Flamini recently, her answer would definitely be “Yes!” The Spanish athlete actually spent 500 days in a cave near Granada, Spain, for an experiment. The aim was to see how a person would manage living without any human contact. Flamini was watched over from a distance by psychologists, physical trainers, and scientists throughout the experiment. The study sought to understand how being completely isolated affects a person’s body and mind.
「妳一直与世隔绝吗？」如果你最近问碧翠丝．弗拉米尼这个问题，她的回答肯定是「没错！」这位西班牙运动员其实为了一项实验，在西班牙格拉纳达附近的一个洞穴里待了五百天。其目的是为了了解一个人在没有与任何人接触的状况下会如何设法生活。整个实验过程中，心理学家、体能训练师和科学家都在远处监视著弗拉米尼。该研究试图了解与外界完全隔绝会如何影响一个人的身心。
