This video is about how we can fool your brain into thinking that it is flying an aircraft, featuring the Delft University of Technology's SIMONA flight simulator. By using a couple of clever tricks, we can trigger sensory illusions that are not only believable, but impossible to resist.



If you're interested in using SIMONA for research, check out the Control and Simulation MSc program at TU Delft: https://www.tudelft.nl/onderwijs/ople...
