Proof that the same side of our brain cannot do 2 different things at

While sitting at a chair, make clockwise circles with your right foot.

While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

Isn't that like rubbing your head and patting your stomach? If you try to quickly change and then pat your head and rub your stomach, you can't do it... :hehe:
