Olaf Blanke – how to down-regulate a ‘ghost’

About interviewee:

Prof. Olaf Blanke refers to a ghost as a misperceived self-representation that is displaced somewhere in space. Olaf’s lab examines the phenomenon of a ghost experience through solid, scientific investigation under specific lab conditions. Through understanding specific brain mechanisms he hopes to develop a robotic treatment system where one can down regulate an altered self-conscious experience.
