Re: [Phys-L] Stubborn brain habits



If you are right-handed, the guy you shave (in the mirror) is left-handed. Your brain has learned to habitually compensate for this inversion. Try shaving (or hair grooming) while looking at your video image on your computer (or camera) screen - this is not a mirror image, this is how your barber sees you. If your camera software allows, you can also horizontally flip this video image into your mirror image and compare your brain's responses to the two views.
