Right? What a disappointing article. Was more just a little bit about the doctor, a little bit about the war, a little bit about spains history of neuroscience, and just the word “backwards”. The anecdote about him looking at his watch was laughably unhelpful! Would’ve been the perfect example to describe what he saw!
- PhasmaFelis 3y agoI assumed it meant "reversed left-to-right." This sentence seems to confirm it: "His auditory and tactile perception were also inverted, so that sounds and touches appeared in his mind on the opposite side." I have no idea what "M looked at his wristwatch from any direction to check the time" is supposed to mean, but it seems to be a red herring.
- aziaziazi 3y ago> M looked at his wristwatch from any direction to check the time In my understanding the meaning is « M can check the time from any direction ». As you and me of course, but usually our spacial memory retrieve the time from the needles orientation (no digit watch in WW2) so we use to always check the time in the same position (12 upward). As M can’t rely on the position of what he see, he probably just « read » the watch numbers all the times (no pun).
