During the Seventh Doctor's battle with the Timewyrm, Ace entered the Doctor's mind, encountering various past Doctors in various guises, including the First, Third and Fourth Doctors.

Donna Noble gained the Tenth Doctor's mind in the meta crisis caused by touching his severed hand while it was infused with regeneration energy from a recent regeneration.

The two sides differentiated, with Mr Clever's half coloured silver and blue with circuitry scattered around, while the Doctor's was orange with Gallifreyan symbols covering it. (TV: Nightmare in Silver)

Behind the scenes
- The use of the Mind Analysis Machine in Day of the Daleks was parodied in an installment of Doctor Whoah!, where the Doctor is flustered as his mind wonders toward a romanticised image of the Brigadier in his underpants, and he tries to convince the Daleks that it is nothing more than "a brilliant fiction" he concocted to distract them.
