Food for Thought: Virtual reality and the mind's ability to deceive itself.

I bought an Oculus Rift over Black Friday and have found myself astonishingly immersed. I would find myself ducking things that weren't there, feeling oddly on the spot when people that weren't there were staring at me, trying to eat food that didn't exist, and so on. If our eyes can be deceived to such an extent, how badly do we deceive our minds on a regular basis?
