tractor steers backwards
They fixed the tractor's steering, but reversed the hoses, making it steer backwards. It's a fun demonstration of how quickly the brain adapts to new, counter-intuitive controls.
- 🚜 The "backwards brain tractor" works by reversing the hydraulic lines to the steering cylinder.
- 🧠 The creator could immediately drive it because the neural pathways from a previous "backwards brain bicycle" experiment were still active.
- 🚴 The "backwards brain bicycle" video is referenced as the origin of this concept, where turning the handlebars one way makes the wheel go the opposite direction.
- 🧠 People who can learn to ride the backwards bicycle quickly are often drone pilots, suggesting an ability to invert spatial reasoning.
- 🎁 The video also includes an announcement for the Smarter Every Day Sticker Team, which supports the channel on Patreon.
