When you tilt your head, does your brain adjust?

As if I need another thing in my head...really.

Look at this arrow:

Now lean your head to the left. Is the arrow point up? or is it pointing 45 degrees, or whatever, based upon your head movement?

Logic aside, yes, I know that the arrow has not moved, and memory serves as knowing which way it is facing. But the literal image that MY mind sees is it's as if you were to rotate a picture. Example: like lying on your side in bed to watch TV...annoyance (like myself) or does your brain adjust.

I noticed this strange phenomenon when I was talking with a friend of mine about some cheap action I had last night. His vision does not change, unless his head is tilted extremely over or upside down. I had to mass flood SMS on my cell to find out if I'm the only crazy one...and it's turning out that way.

C'mon AZ, confirmation please. The ability to read text upside-down, backwards, whatever does not apply.
 
yea, its funny how a few people do it and run out like champs isnt it :(

Over time i suppose you can get use to anything.

PS: its still bad ")

NOT TRUE. A lot of great pool players tilted there heads, including Willie Mosconi.

Now I will provide what I think is the answer.

While I had my reading glasses fitted the optomitrist told me that ALL humans have their eyes set at different heights from a base, say the bridge of you nose for instance.

Now, consider that this may be natural, to further complicate matters. :thumbup:

A book that referenced Mosconi, "Answers to a Pool Player's Prayers" did a lot with this. In fact, this is what the book seems to be about. I know because I have it, and personally found it not very worthwhile. The author seems to be high on acid the way he perceives things.
 
have u ever tried tilting your head while walking? that should give u a good idea why you shouldnt do it playing pool.............dont ask why ive done this i dont know.

do it at the beach if possible and look backwards and see how drunken your footsteps look...u can change sides if u really want to look drunk
