This imageis kind of cool. The dots are white, but if you look around, they turn black....... i think it has to do with the colors.......
For the sense, I chose Touch/feel:
Last weekend, I went hiking up in Haleakala national park for a good 15 hours.......it gave me a lot of time to think.... any ways, so I focused on what I was feeling, and it was really weird. My body had a hard time understanding what was going on. It was really cold because it's up high so it was around 40 degrees F, but the sun was shining so I was constantly being bonbarded by warm and cold at the same time. My body wasn't sure whether to sweat or shiver. Then I got a sunburn but my body didn't notice it untill we left because the cold was masking it even though it was a pretty bad burn.
The whole visual Agnosia isreally hard for me to rap my head around......... I don't quite understand how you could reconize your features, but not your face in the mirror.......... it doesn't really make any sense...... for some reason, it sounds a bit like alzheimer's. John's case sounds like a SyFy movie
