minus-squareKongar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·edit-21 year agoI can twitch my eyeballs left and right really fast, and not just a little bit - but most of the way. Completely grosses people out when I do it. Edit: I can even do circles, but not as fast as left and right.
minus-squarepartial_accumen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoThis is called Voluntary Nystagmus.
minus-squareKongar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoNeat! Thanks for the name/info. I’m the only person I’ve ever met who can do this.

minus-squareKongar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-21 year agoI don’t know because I can’t see a thing when I do it ;) Edit: I suppose I should make a video of myself - just never have. Sounds like I’ve got plans for the evening :)
