6. Monday the 27th of December 2001 a curious accident occurred to the Hon. Pierferdinando Casini, president of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, an accident reported by Italian TV news.

When dr. Casini started to call each Deputy for a vote, he read the name of the first one from right to left (mirror reading). After some seconds of clear astonishing of all people present, he realized his mistake, he begged pardon, and then he read the same name in a regular way, which is from left to right.

Usually the mirror reading is described as the following of a psychopathological event. From the two engrams that always correspond to a perceptive stimulus, the opposite one sat into the non-dominant half-brain is habitually suppressed.

This spontaneous accident in a healthy person leads to confirm that:

1. Temporary troubles of half-brain dominance can occur even in normal people;

2. Probably stress plays a basic role on it.
