Bouncing Brains by Thorsten Hansen, Kai Hamburger, & Karl R. Gegenfurtner University of Giessen, Germany http://illusioncontest.neuralc...

"The Hubless Monster chopper by Amen Design is the world’s first fully functional motorcycle with two hubless wheels. Hubless (centerless) wheel is a type of wheel with no center hub.

Since it is open source now (kudos to Facebook), we can all have a look inside it to see how it works."

"There's a lot going on in that "tiny reptilian brain" for sure. Paleocortex seems to drive 99% of human behavior as well - consciousness may just be along for the ride as an afterthought. (Maybe even when coding, sometimes at least!)"
