  • Q1
    Why does it look like you have a hole in your hand, when you try the Hole-in-Hand illusion?
    It looks like that because one eye sees a hole and one eye does not. Your brain combines what the two eyes see into one view. That one view is the one with the hole in my hand.

  • Q5
    Give YOUR OWN example of how the brain, the movement nerve and the muscles work together.
    ONE POSSIBLE ANSWER: The skin (touch) senses the stove is hot and sends a message to the sensory nerves, the sensory nerves tell the brain that the stove is hot. The brain sends a message down the movement nerve to the muscles of the arm, hand and fingers to pull away from the hot stove you are about to touch. Your muscles react causing you to not touch the stove and keep from burning your skin.
