by having subjects watch video images of themselves moving or being touched. Laura Case, Elizabeth Seckel, and I found that such illusions are enhanced if you wear a Halloween mask and introduce a tiny time delay together with a left-right reversal in the image. You suddenly start inhabiting and controlling the “alien” in the video image. Remarkably, if you wear a smiling mask you actually feel happy because “you, out there” look happy! I wonder if you could use it to “cure” depression.

EPILOGUE

1. These two Darwin quotes come from the London Illustrated News, April 21, 1862 (“I feel most deeply…”), and Darwin’s letter to Asa Gray, May 22, 1860 (“I own that I cannot see…”).
