A 28-year-old woman named Bojana Danilovic can only read, watch TV or surf the web if the book or newspaper, the TV screen or the monitor is turned topsy-turvy.

This is because of a rare brain disorder that caused her to see the things around her upside down. Due to the fact that Bojana Danilovic has been suffering with this medical condition since she was born, she has grown rather accustomed to it.

Hence her managing to study economy in Serbia and even get a job. “I was born that way. It's just the way I see the world,” the woman told members of the press.

“They [scientists] say my eyes see the images the right way up but my brain changes them. But they don't really seem to know exactly how it happens, just that it does and where it happens in my brain,” she went on to argue.

The researchers who have been given the opportunity to study Bojana's peculiar way of seeing the world explain that the brain disorder that is keeping her from looking at the world as other people do is called spatial orientation phenomenon.
