The way I look in the mirror and the way I look in my dreams are very different. Apparently my self-image is far slimmer than I am now... ;-)

From article: They are applying mirrors in medicine, to create reflected images of patients’ limbs or other body parts and thus trick the brain into healing itself. Mirror therapy has been successful in treating disorders like phantom limb syndrome, chronic pain and post-stroke paralysis...

I suppose it could also work in reverse. Some cultures always covered mirrors when there'd been a death in the family.

To scientists, the simultaneous simplicity and complexity of mirrors make them powerful tools for exploring questions about perception and cognition in humans and other neuronally gifted species

Ugh. Who writes this crap.
