Heautoscopy is a term used in psychiatry and neurology for the reduplicative hallucination of "seeing one's own body at a distance" [1]. It can occur as a symptom in schizophrenia[2] and epilepsy. Heautoscopy is considered as one possible explanation for the doppelgänger phenomena.[citation needed]
