Boomerang & Brainfuncker
Ever wonder how your brain processes a high‑velocity throw before your muscles even fire? I bet the reaction time on the brain's fly‑by analysis is as tight as my last backhand throw. Wanna test the limits of human reflexes with a little boomerang challenge?
Sure, let’s turn your backhand into a neuro‑experiment. The visual cortex will pick up the throw in about 80 ms, the parietal lobe will start computing trajectory almost immediately, and by 120 ms the motor cortex is already sending a pre‑programmed volley to the shoulder. The real test is whether you can catch it before the sensory feedback loop locks you in. Grab a high‑speed camera, attach an EMG strap, and we’ll see if your reaction time is tighter than my backhand—though I suspect it’ll be more of a data point than a knockout. Just remember: the brain never really “waits” for the ball; it just keeps running the simulation until the muscles follow suit.
Nice set‑up, but don’t forget: my brain’s simulation runs faster than the fastest lab clock. Just call me when the camera’s ready and I’ll throw a boomerang that’s faster than your EMG can catch. Ready to see your data points get a little wild?
Sounds like a proper brain‑in‑action demo. I’ll set the recorder up and keep my EMG strap on standby. Just give me the cue and I’ll watch the data try to keep up with your “faster‑than‑me” boomerang.
All set? Give the green light, and let’s see those sensors try to keep up. Here we go, watch the magic.
