stretch out your hand and place a ring on the crook of your elbow then rotate your palm if the ring didn't fall you're a rare person some say only two percent of people can do that but that's arguable

hyper mobility it allows rare individuals to twist their bodies into weird positions just like a snake putting their head between their feet doing a back bridge in all sorts of splits but in some cases hypermobility can increase sensitivity because such people have a larger medulla this brain area is responsible for processing emotions now ninety percent of people are right-handed and only ten percent are left-handed yes that adds up but there's also a very small percentage of those who can use both hands equally well including writing drawing and doing any tests naturally ambidextrous

musician because the nerves in your palms are well developed do you feel ticklish when you tickle yourself now normally you wouldn't unless someone else tickles you it happens because the cerebellum area of the brain which monitors movements predicts the sensations caused by your own movements then it sends a signal to other parts of the nervous system to cancel these sensations but some rare individuals can actually feel ticklish on their own if you're not among them touching a new texture that the brain doesn't yet recognize or using a scalp massager can help to excite your nerves and bring relaxation okay grab a sheet of paper and something to write with and sit on a chair stretch one leg and rotate your foot clockwise try to draw the number six on the paper or in the ear while
