What if you could swap bodies with someone else? What would it be like to be someone of the opposite sex? A different race? We're getting darn close to being able to do that with new techniques like the Rubber Hand Illusion, the Enfacement illusion, and now the Full body illusion.

Come listen to me talk about the latest research on this topic and some potential intriguing applications to problems like bullying.
