poor countries got brain freeze .You have to say the colour not the word

I know, but it was really hard for me to do. I must have a stupid brain, could not get the hang of saying the color, rather than reading the word. :redface:

 

[sissy]

that just means your brain is only working on one side and that's actually normal .Doesn't mean much when you read the colors for smartness ,just means both sides of your brain function the same .I think mine does it because I can write with both my left hand and my right hand .I'm surely not smart .LOL

Beg to differ Sissy, you have a great common sense, skill in building, ability to think out and fix issues.

I agree, Addy. And, it doesn't take smart or dumb to read those clever tests, it has to do with showing a person that no matter how hard you try to do what you are TOLD to do, your brain overrides your mouth and make it difficult. And, everyone is different. Some can do that one very easily, others cannot even say the tongue twisters without messing up. I'm good with the Sally sells seashells at the shady sea shore one.

Oh geeze we are all one .I learned from my dad if you can't do it the first time you better try again

 

[j.w]

If you do it really slow you can do it easy but fast is a different story for me anyways...............is that cheating,lol?

this brain excersise was on tv a month ago and my 3 yr old son managed it very well ! as he cannot read yet so all he seen was the colour !

 

[mogsie]

well this recent solar storm had caused the aurora borealis or northern lights spread further south but i have had plenty of cloud so havent been able to see any, some local guy managed to get a pic above the town harbour,

 

[j.w]

I was looking for it one night here but we have had clouds also and I didn't notice anything different in the sky. Neat photo the guy took tho of the colors!

 

[koiguy1969]

[j.w]

Ha Ha I'll remember that!

 

[j.w]

very interesting! If you do the test below after you follow the directions then do this after.........while watching the dot move your head and eyes around and you will keep seeing the dots and they don't disappear.


Motion Induced Blindness



Cool test

This is frightening! It works exactly like it says, and is one major reason people in cars can look right at you



(when you're on a motorcycle or bicycle)---AND NOT SEE YOU. From a former Naval Aviator. This is a great



illustration of what we were taught about scanning outside the cockpit when I went through training back in the '50s.



We were told to scan the horizon for a short distance, stop momentarily, and repeat the process. I can remember being



told why this was the most effective technique to locate other aircraft. It was emphasized (repeatedly) to NOT fix your gaze



for more than a couple of seconds on any single object.





The instructors, some of whom were WWII veterans with years of experience, instructed us to continually "keep our eyes



moving and our head on a swivel" because this was the best way to survive, not only in combat, but from peacetime hazards



(like a midair collision) as well. We basically had to take the advice on faith (until we could experience for ourselves) because



the technology to demonstrate it didn't exist at that time.
