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. |
