Brain & neurology: control of hand movements Posted: 04-08-07 09:17am
Well, I've had this abnormal condition
since I was a child (don't remember when).
I' m 17 now. I am able to
imagine/daydream (if that is what it
really is?), and when I do, my hands
jitter/ randomly move. I am able to
control imagining/daydreaming, and these
things usually are about some plot
continuation of a TV show or some sort of
junk like that. It's like watching a TV
show that I just created in my head... (I
know, wierd). What is really odd is that,
I can picture what I daydream, and while I
do this, my hands start moving. Is this
some brain to hand connection that
triggers movement when I "imagine stuff"?
I'd like to know more about this.
I've always assumed this was nothing until
recently when I realized that this could
be something new, since I could find
absolutely no trace of this on the web.
It's not a negative condition or
anything, I imagine on my own free will,
and it is limited to once or twice a day,
or sometimes none at all.
Hand’s movements are definitely
controlled by your mind (brain). It
doesn’t seem to me that you have some
kind of neurological disorder. I believe
that you only have a great imagination.
