If you cross your index and middle fingers (as if crossing your fingers for luck), and then touch your nose (move your fingers up and down the bridge of your nose, making sure that both are in contact with your nose), how many noses do you feel you have?

(The reason I'm curious in this Nature article... *g*)

Oooh! Ooh, ooh ooh! I didn't think of trying it with my fingers the other way around! Having experimented further (*g*) I still only feel one nose when I do it with my right hand, no matter which way around my fingers are, but doing it with my left hand I felt two noses!

Isn't it interesting! It's one of those articles that completely make me wish I'd studied something completely different at uni! *g*

LOL - so that's two of us getting funny looks from everyone then *g*

I wonder why handedness comes into it? Fascinating! I love anything to do with the brain - Oliver Sacks is one of my favourite writers. *g*

I'll be poking my nose the rest of the day now...
