This is hysterical. You have to try this. I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.
HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?
This takes 2 seconds. This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can’t. It’s probably pre-programmed in your brain!
1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY!!) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6’ in the air with yourright hand. Your foot will change direction. And there’s nothing you can do about it!
:tongue::tongue::tongue:
Amazingly you are right !!
:hattip:I could not stop it changing direction – and I’m a right footed footballer who must have spent 100’s of hours trying to train that foot …
:roflmao:When I first heard about it, even I thought it was some bull ****. But i was surprised, I couldn’t control my foot. LOL
:colgate:
There is a reasonable explanation for this, and it has to do with one half of your brain controlling the other half of your body, but it can be changed.
Basically any wiring in your brain can be “trained” to do something else.For example
You can move your fingers independently of each other.
If you taped two of your fingers together for an extended period of time, which meant that you would only ever move them at the same time, when you finally take the tape off, you will not be able to move those two fingers independently. They will only be able to be moved at the same time. This is because the neurons in your brain that control these two fingers are right next to each other in your brain map.
You can “retrain” them to work independently again, but it will take time.
Another example is that if you were to wear upside down glasses for 2 weeks straight without taking them off, so that you can only see things upside down, your brain will adjust and you will be able to do things as though you can see regularly. When you take the glasses off and can see normally again, you will need to retrain your brain to do everything again.
It’s very interesting stuff
So what I’m saying is, you could train your brain so that you can actually do the 6 without your foot switching directions.
(Yes, I wanted to be a neurosurgeon – I LOVE THE BRAIN!)

Rewards Affiliatesso what happens if you draw the 6 backwards? .. Not like a 9 but from the curved part back to the top of the 6 so you’re drawing the 6 clockwise as well?

Rewards AffiliatesThats true, babies are born with upside down vision, so if their great grandmother drooling over them isn’t bad enough, the babies are looking at them upside down, enough to scar them for life don’t you think?

Hey Welcome back! How have you been doing?
btw if you draw the 6 backwards, clock wise, it will not make any difference.

LOL, you seem to be quite knowledgeable in this area, what did you study at school?

Hey Satya
Been doing great thanks, how are you? :hattip:
Satya;207691 wrote:LOL, you seem to be quite knowledgeable in this area, what did you study at school?To be honest I didn’t study anything like this at school. I became fascinated with the brain and how it works once I got into uni. I actually wanted to be a neurosurgeon or a linguist but didn’t get marks because of a chemistry mark so ended up in computer science (which I hated so I dropped out third year) but never stopped reading about the brain and how it works etc.
You’d be surprised what you find out when you read everything you can find about something you are passionate about

Is it left or right which is the creative part of the brain. I heard once that the ear you use when phoning can make a difference on the phone conversation but not for me, I still end up telling the cold callers to p1ss off anyway. :tongue:
