Scientists have been able to virtually transport a man back in time - simply by stimulating parts of his brain.
A 22-year-old man reported seeing scenes from his family's pizzeria as well as his local train station, all while sitting in a medical room.
Researchers hope the discovery could help them better understand areas of the brain used to retrieve information on locations.
The hallucinations appeared after Pierre Mégevand at the Feinstein Institute in New York implanted electrodes into the young man's brain in search of the origin of his epilepsy.
