I’ve been a big fan of chameleons since childhood.

Not because they're so colorful, but because of their eyes.

法助動詞 A2

It’s so cool how they can look in different directions at the same time.

And I’ve always wondered what if a human had such eyes too.

One famous professor invited me to participate in an experiment.

He'd studied the structure of chameleon eyes for many years and found out how to recreate

Long story short, I agreed to the experiment, and the professor conducted a difficult operation

I decided to keep a diary and tell you what it means to have eyes that can work separately

I saw two different pictures at the same time, and my brain was confused about which picture

It was hard for me to take a glass of water, for example.

I saw it in front of me, while in fact it was on my left.

I couldn't shake anyone’s hand either: did they stretch their left or right arm to me?

But the most difficult thing was walking down the street.

I could see different pictures at the same time and I could focus my vision and see better

I saw every person around me and it seemed they were about to walk right into me.

I tried to avoid a collision, so I crashed into people myself.

It wasn’t safe for me to ride a bike, let alone drive a car.

My brain used to control both my eyes simultaneously.

Now it had to pay attention to either of them separately.

It was difficult even to walk around the apartment.

I finally left the house but didn't want to walk, so I called a taxi and went to the nearest

I lay down on the grass, took a deep breath, and saw something incredible: a whole cosmos

with hundreds of thousands of stars, flying planes, birds.

I saw where the sky began and where it ended at the same time, and I didn't even move my

My eyes relaxed, and for the first time, I felt like I was in control.

I started coming there every day to train my eyes.

After a couple of days, I could follow a plane flying by and count a flock of birds in another

A week later, I could see the Big Dipper among the stars and watch some ant crawling in the

I even learned to look with two eyes at the same time in one direction so I could hide

I began to communicate with people and make new friends.

Talking to a person, I not only understood their speech but also read their body language.

Wrist scratching, finger rubbing, holding their hand in the pocket.

I could understand when a person was angry or embarrassed, or when they liked me.

Once, on a bus, I noticed someone's hand reaching into my pocket to steal my phone.

The bus was crowded, and most people got off at the nearest stop, so I couldn't catch the

They tried to rob me, but I felt cool, like a superhero.

Maybe I should start patrolling the streets?

I set two screens and started a race on each.

I played them both at the same time, against myself.

There was always a draw, but the left side of my body won once.

No, I didn't read two pages at the same time — the narrative got confusing.

But the coolest thing is that I learned to play musical instruments much quicker.

I see the keys on the piano, and I look at the sheet music at the same time.

In a couple of minutes, I already know the melody by heart.

This happened with a guitar, drums, and violin.

I’d become the most attentive person in the world.

Something strange began a few months later.

My brain had been controlling my eyes for so long that it allocated its own hemispheres

The left side of the brain controls the left eye, the right — you guessed it.

And thanks to this, I learned to control these hemispheres separately.

I noticed this when I was sleeping… and wasn’t sleeping at the same time.

I felt my body resting, but I was conscious.

Some animals, such as zebras or dolphins, can sleep like this.

One part of the brain rests, and the other monitors the environment.

If a predator appears, the animal can run away immediately.

There were no predators in my room, not counting the cat.

It was certainly nice just lying down and enjoying the rest, but I wanted to try to

do something useful while I was sleeping.

But, as soon as I tried to turn the page, all my brain's parts woke up immediately.

A few weeks later, I began to notice sharp changes in my mood and desires.

I could watch a horror movie and laugh at the main characters' foolishness, but five

minutes later, I feel scared of what is happening on the screen.

I wanted to go outside and sit at home at the same time.

One day I accidentally cut myself with a knife, but when I looked at my hand, there wasn’t

Once I cooked an omelet in the morning, but as soon as I started eating it, I immediately

I just wanted both of them at the same time.

My friends called me to a party, and I agreed with pleasure.

I got dressed and was already about to leave when I suddenly got sick.
