THE ESSENCE OF DINING IN COMPLETE DARKNESS

Utter complete darkness was found to enhance human brain neuroplasticity. The theme of this work provides insights into the implications of dining in complete darkness. The concept is critically evaluated from various multidisciplinary perspectives, including physiology; benefiting from the latest studies about the role of darkness in our lives and the collective arguments of the experiences of dining in such depth of darkness over the past ten years. The study shows how the staying in complete darkness speeds up our understanding of our senses and optimises our neural senses resources. The implications of this study show that experiencing more living, eating and drinking in complete darkness optimises our capacity to deal with uncertainty; besides, the repetition of such experience was found to raise our curiosity and improves the value of “trust” between people.
