THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
'big picture' oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can 'get it' (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

As an artist I've always known i am RIGHT brained...i can't do math to save my life...and logic...what's that??? hahah...will have to test DH with this one!

As a scientist, I'm SREWED! I totally see her turning clockwise, and can't see her turning counterclockwise to save my life.....

But then again, I always knew I was a leftie and right brained If you guys ever saw my interior decorating and cooking skills, you'd see what I mean.... better at that than science

an uphill battle everyday for me....

aww you should be happy your WHOLE brain works!! haha...i swear i need a calculator for simple math (and yet somehow graduated Cum Laude?? haha)

Re: WOW-- this is crazy

This is soooo cool!!!! I only saw her counter clockwise at first but the longer I stared at her and concentrated- I saw her go clockwise!!! So freaky!!!

Coolest thing ever!!!

Possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen. It took some time, but eventually I could see it both ways. I found it helpful to point my finger up and move it in a counterclockwise motion along with the figure. Then I was able to see it the other way. With somer practice, I could switch back and forth without doing that. But now my brain hurts!

Almost newlywed crashing

There is a split second that you can see her turn counter clockwise.
When her right leg is poining left (she's facing us), look at the left foot. All of a sudden it starts to rotate counter clockwise and the rest of her body follows. Looks as if the legs have switched position. Then a split second later the left foot turns back to a clockwise rotation followed by her right leg and body.

If I can see both, what does this mean ?

Re: WOW-- this is crazy

OMG I FINALLY SEE HER SPINNING COUNTER CLOCK WISE!!! its the craziest thing!!! then I can't imagine her spinning clockwise!!

the best way to do this is to focus on the lower foot (the one with the shadow under it) and imagine it going the other way... eventually it just does

this is freaky!!

Re: WOW-- this is crazy

Weird.....as soon as I read something on the screen, out of the corner of my eye she turns the other way (counter-clockwise)!

Re: WOW-- this is crazy

haha -- it goes around for like 4 or 5 rotations clockwise and then 4 or 5 rotations counter clockwise for me, it keeps swtiching back and forth

Re: WOW-- this is crazy

Re: WOW-- this is crazy

I think everyone who says they see her going counter clockwise is joking! I can only see her going clockwise
