Back when I REALLY wanted a bike, I read lots about target fixation. I was in a car with my Dad and Sister.. and I asked my Dad, who rides.. "Did they teach you that at the Harley MSF?".. and he goes.. "No, that sounds kind of dumb"
Literally two days later, my sister is driving us back from a ski resort, and the car she's following veers off the shoulder and she follows him right over onto the rumble strips and goes.. "Oh my God, it's true!"
It's really crazy.

I try this all the time on the road.
When I was 17 I had a buddy keep telling me you brake with the heel and gas with the toe. You ever use your heel on your brake? Or brake with your left foot? It's feels like your face is being pulled off since you have no control.
