Ghost In The Machine: Robot Simulates A Ghostly Presence

Researchers have designed a robot that makes humans feel the illusory presence of a non-existent “ghost”.

Feeling of a presence is a curious phenomenon reported by people with neurological and psychiatric disorders where the presence of something strange nearby, like a ghost or angel, is not seen, but somehow felt. FoP has also been reported by explorers and mountaineers — and now a robot has helped reveal how it happens.
