Tiny Effort, Big Results

Ball and Table

The Ball & Table exercise is a quick way to glimpse how your mind builds a scene.

Some people picture vivid images. Others think more conceptually.

Describe what happens when a ball on a table begins to move, and Symdiy will map how your mind constructs the scene.

It takes about 30 seconds, but the results can reveal surprising patterns.
