The gist of it: Scientist have tricked the brain into identifying a body that is not it's own, as being it's own. It can make you believe that you are the body of a mannequin or of an entirely different person. Very trippy stuff.

The application?

The knowledge that the sense of corporal identification/self-perception can be manipulated to make people believe that they have a new body is of potential practical use in virtual reality applications and robot technology.

A virtual reality game where I identify the virtual body as my own would be crazy trippy.
