John C. Lilly Dies at 86; Led Study of Communication With Dolphins
By ANDREW C. REVKIN

Dr. John C. Lilly, a neuroscientist and writer who explored human consciousness,
dolphin communication and the borders of reality with the showmanship of P. T.
Barnum and the infectious zeal of Jacques Yves- Cousteau, died on Sept. 30 in Los
Angeles. He was 86 and lived in Maui, Hawaii.

Combining training in medicine, psychoanalysis and biophysics, Dr. Lilly carved an
eclectic career that shifted between research published in scientific journals and
speculation and self-experimentation codified mainly in books aimed at fellow
students of spirituality and the self.

Along with pioneering work probing the electrical activity in the brain and the
behavior of dolphins, he experimented with hallucinogenic drugs and promoted the
recreational use of the isolation tank, an enclosed saline bath he designed in
1954
for studying sensory deprivation.
