At very least, you'll look silly! 9/25/2006 12:23:00 PM
1. While sitting at your desk, 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 your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

Jim It's not working, but atleast I do look silly
Rachel Why does that work?!?
Eric I'm thinking that God took a shortcut in the wiring.
Erin looks like the question of moving hand and foot simultaneously is for most people mediated at the fifth cervical vertebral ganglion or above. That's the one that controls motor/sensory reactions below the middle ribs. So if one is trying to move foot and hand in opposite directions, there's a tendency to conflate the signals.
Rachel Thanks Erin!
