A series of drugs, each drug suppresses specific areas of brain function to simulate the brain functioning of a different organism. The effects likely wear off after an hour or so.

Pop the mouse pill, and for the next half hour live inside the mind of a mouse.

You take those several times a day, don't you ?

How can the non-suppressed residues of my brain simulate a completely different creature like, say, a bat? Which part would do the flying? And which the listening to ultra-high pitched echoes? And may your idea be the reason why the bursar in the Unseen University has to take dried frog pills?

The Bursar takes Dried Frog Pills because he is insane and has hallucinations.

The thing is that the other wizards have selected a remedy that also makes him hallucinate; but he then hallucinates that he's the Bursar of Unseen University, so that's OK.

The only problem with this idea is that it's completely wrong.

For one thing, animal brains are not human brains with bits missing, any more than a book is a cafetiere with some pages missing.

// animal brains are not human brains with bits missing //

... but observational evidence seems to suggest that some human brains are definitely animal brains with bits missing.

Yeah, yeah, pun in search of an idea, etc.
