Why Ciempiés?

A centipede was happy – quite!

Until a toad in fun

Said, "Pray, which leg moves after which?"

This raised her doubts to such a pitch,

She fell exhausted in the ditch

Not knowing how to run.

"The Centipede's Dilemma," poem attributed to Katherine Craster (1841–1874).

This short children poem has lent its name to a psychological effect called "centipede's effect or syndrome," or "hyper reflection law." It was discovered by psychologist George Humphrey (1889–1966) in 1923. That's why it's also known as "Humphrey's law."

De izquierda a derecha, Javier Rey, Maui Barone, Erika Cosenza y Wenceslao Zuloaga, cofundadores de Ciempiés. Sentados sobre una pared baja de cemento y ladrillos. De fondo, desenfocado, se puede distinguir el tronco de un árbol y varias paredes de ladrillos rotos y añejados vestidas con redes contenedoras de color verde. Javier Rey, de tez blanca, cabello ondulado oscura y barba incipiente, mira de perfil a Maui Barone mientras sonríe. Viste una chaqueta de pana de color marrón oscuro, una camisa azul claro, unos pantalones vaqueros de jean y cruza su pierna izquierda sobre la derecha. Al lado, Maui Barone le devuelve la mirada sonriendo. Lleva el pelo castaño suelto y unas gafas azules. Viste una camisa diseñada con hojas de varios colores, verde, rosa, naranja. Tiene una minifalda de cuero y medias de nylon color negra. A su lado Erika Cosenza, mirando la secuencia de Javier Rey y Maui Barone, sonríe de perfil. Lleva el pelo suelto de color violeta y usa gafas. Viste un chal de color turquesa que le cubre el torso y los brazos. Tiene un pantalón negro. A su lado, Wenceslao Zuloaga, iluminado por un rayo de sol, sonríe. Viste un polo color azul, unos pantalones vaqueros de jean.
