The way I tell the story here, it sounds like there are two principals, the way the puppeteer Craig occupied the head of actor John Malkovich in the movie Being John Malkovich. One is the patient’s mind, concentrating on Monroe. The other is the patient’s brain—namely, the nerve cells in the medial temporal lobe that up- and down-regulate their activity according to the mind’s desire. But both are part of the same person. So who is in control of whom? Who is the puppeteer and who the puppet?
