A Bit of Friday Levity: Test for Probability of Alzheimer's

[greatunclebill]

people with alzheimers would say What's a camel and who da hell are you? everybody else whether they find it or not is just fine.

I have found camel so quickly. What does it mean?

That you've got good eyesight, or a big monitor...

I think that Granny just *forgot* that this is more a test of eyesight....

That you've got good eyesight, or a big monitor...

+ belief and determination. It's easier to find if you believe it is there.

Fair point... the way you phrased it at first, I thought perhaps it wasn't a individual camel itself, but a combination of other animals in a camel shape... so I went looking for the wrong thing, then Pugsy said it was tiny... and I went on the hunt again, at greater magnification... which led to the discovery.

Seeing shapes in negative space requires a higher mental process,
like visualizing flat patterns as 3 dimensional forms.
Not everybody can do it.
I always took it for granted everybody could, until I learned different.

I did the same.
Left, a little frustrated.
Came right back and it popped out immediately.
I was looking for a single humper and it was a double.
Gets me every time.

Animal cracker.

That is the perfect description.

[Pugsy]

To be fair everyone....I cheated to find it.....Google has always been my friend.
It was driving me nutzo not seeing it and we all know that is a short trip.

When I googled camel inside the man's brain, I mostly found other stuff that had nothing to do with camels

Welcome to the club. I always fail at the "find the hidden stuff" games anyway. Shrugs and moves on.

I knew it.
Anyone who has done what you have done would never give up.
All the machines you have tried and tested.
All the masks you have tried and tested.
All the knowledge you have accumulated.

Impossible to give up.

You forgot to include the OCD. I was doomed when I said I would just move on. No way in hell could I move on until I figured it out.

I didn't even care enough to google.

Interesting... A possible way to reverse Alzheimer's.

Some suggest that "reprogramming" the brain may also help reverse sleep apnea. More studies are needed.

Thanks. That is quite interesting:

Daily camel-finding visual exercise in Alzeimer's disease (AD) subjects appears to be safe, while providing cognitive enhancement, changes to CSF/blood AD markers, and evidence of stable/enhanced brain connectivity.
