TARASCON ARIGE: A group of 15 French volunteers on Saturday left a cave where they had stayed for 40 days, in an experiment probing the limits of human adaptability to isolation.
Dazzled by the light and with pale faces but otherwise healthy, the group led by French-Swiss explorer Christian Clot emerged at around 10:30am from the Lombrives cave in Ariege, southwest France.
The underground isolation experiment saw the subjects, aged between 27 and 50, give up watches, phones and natural light, exchanging modern comforts for a cave system with a constant 12 Celsius (54 Fahrenheit) temperature and 95 percent humidity.

A group of French volunteers have emerged from a cave after a 40-day study exploring the limits of human adaptability to isolation.
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.
The project aimed to test how people respond to losing their sense of time and space.
The so-called Deep Time experiment came to an end on Saturday, allowing the eight men and seven women, aged 27 to 50, who took part to leave the cave.

They took part in the Deep Time project, which explored the limits of human isolation.
Two-thirds of the group say they wanted to stay in the cave for longer.

Eight men and seven women who emerged into daylight after spending 40 days and 40 nights in a cave without any indication of time made a surprising discovery - time appeared to move more quickly in confinement.
The group was sequestered underground for a scientific study known as the ‘Deep Time’ project, which measured how the brain perceives time in isolation.
