“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.
「妳一直與世隔絕嗎？」如果你最近問碧翠絲．弗拉米尼這個問題，她的回答肯定是「沒錯！」這位西班牙運動員其實為了一項實驗，在西班牙格拉納達附近的一個洞穴裡待了五百天。其目的是為了了解一個人在沒有與任何人接觸的狀況下會如何設法生活。整個實驗過程中，心理學家、體能訓練師和科學家都在遠處監視著弗拉米尼。該研究試圖了解與外界完全隔絕會如何影響一個人的身心。
