How Smart is Your Right Foot?
I bet that you cannot do this.
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot
off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the
air with your right hand. Your foot will change
direction.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING ON?
(For those who claim that they can do this, are you drawing the number "6" from top of the 6 or from the inside out? Play fair now).

That is sooo weird!!! Try this: Rotate you left foot clockwise and now try to make that six with your right hand. I find it much easier to do.
My best guess: The right part of your brain controls the left side of your body. Probably the neurons for you right hand motion and right foot motion are so close to each other on the left side of your brain that when one fires, the other one is influenced. It doesn't happen when you do left foot/right hand motion because they are on opposite sides of the brain.
I hope you have an answer to this and this is not some random question!!! I'll be watching to see who gets the best answer reward....

I seriously can do it. I drew from the top of the 6 down and the middle of the 6 out. Not sure which way was cheating. But it was really weird because my foot hesitated. Oh and I stared at my foot the whole time. The first time I did it my foot changed direction. I wanted to catch the action, so I stared at my foot while drawing the 6 the second time and I could do it, but I had to concentrate on it and just draw the six. So weird.

It works best if I look at my rotating feet and then draw the 6 from the outside in. It's interesting that the second I begin to draw the 6, my feet does want to change direction, so it takes some mind control.

No I can't but it was fun trying. Maybe those who can are like people who can raise one eyebrow. . . . .I've read that the ability is actually "genetic", so one either can or cannot and no amount of practice will change that.
P.S. I started to answer this by saying that I had heard about this several months ago . . . . then I remembered that it was a question on this site. I checked it out and sure enough it was on here 6 mos ago and it was you who posted it. Some things actually do bear repeating. Fun then, fun now. Thanks ! . . . . I gave you a star

I could do it, but I had to concentrate a bit. When I did the "6", i started from the top.
