Claudia, et al Same here on the neuroanatomy. I still have a similar experience when teaching basic neuroanatomy. I "see" structures in clouds, patterns on the floor, etc. I think it's sort of a "visual set" that you get into when staring at those slides for a period of time. Tim

I've seen some fuzzy anatomical slides in many a colloquium, so perhaps those who are accustomed to finding structures in fuzzy masses, this might make more sense than it does to me. :-) I'm leaning toward the "interpreting clouds" model, myself. I'm interested to learn of the reactions of others. Claudia J.

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
