While sitting at your desk reading this, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. As you're doing this, draw the number 8 in the air with your right index finger. Your foot should change direction.
doesn't happen if i start my figure 8 clockwise, but if i start the figure 8 counter clockwise then yes, the foot definitely gets confused and tries to go in the other direction.
This was on telly a few weeks ago - people who play drums or do other tasks where they've had to learn to use feet / hands for specific but non-linked tasks don't change direction of their feet.

So there's an inate tendency to link the two, but it can be unlearnt.
It doesn't even try to change direction or speed.
very odd.
