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.
