Don't get confused with what you see!

How many of you get confused between left and right?

This hack tests your ability to know left and right, and control specific finger muscles

Your left brain, specifically the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere, is responsible for left-right orientation.

This area has to then communicate with the primary motor cortex of both sides of the brain in order to move the finger of the opposite side.

So your left index finger is moved by the right motor cortex. Your body already has an internal map of what is left and right, so when your eyes are closed, it is easier to move the right finger.

But when your eyes are open, the visual image adds to the left-right confusion.

Try this out with a friend, and tell them what's happening in their brains as they struggle.

I haven’t seen a better example of “sometimes you just need to close your eyes and sit” :)

Even at airport you’re thinking about giving great content and knowledge to us. Thanx a ton ❤️

Not sure how it happened but i could do it with ease with eyes open staring at fingers. Doctor, is something wrong with me? 😢

[pvspeaks]

[lavinam]

But what if I could do it without closing my eyes

Can you make a video about psych k?

Its a technique which activates the whole brain and its used for super learning

It involves the hand gesture you did

So i got reminded of psych k

I would love to hear the neurobiology of that

When eyes are open, try to concentrate on the fingers, and not your instincts

[gangadharapriyanka]

Able to do with eyes open and much easier with eyes closed

[amandeepsaini]

Haha make more of this video it's interesting

[yolo-ozcg]

Sir sorry my pre frontal cortex is not developed 😢

[harshitagrawal]

Well with eyes open the brain has to process data from both eyes and that's the reason

[abantikaghosh]

I could do this at the very first moment with eyes open.. what's the problem ?

Sir mera to aankh khule hue bhi ho raha hai
