Right Brain v Left Brain

[the_fresh]

which way is her leg going?

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

Thats REALLY trippy. At first i saw it going clock-wise, then it changed after i looked away.
Weird

 

[sen entertainment bloke]

Can see both ways. Brainless I guess,

 

[legitimatic]

It's clockwise surely.

 

[Real]

that is freaky

 

[Huddo91]

Can't see it going anti-clockwise at all?

 

[BomberGal]

Yeah I love this picture.

If you want her to change direction, focus on her foot.

 

[wce4premiership]

There is NO way that is anti clockwise, it's clearly clockwise, look at the way her breasts appear and dissapear.

 

[jo172]

I must suck because it looked clockwise to me the whole time?

I was the opposite... Could only see it anti-clockwise and then scrolled down and all i could see was clockwise.. Now i can't see if going back the other way :S

 

[mushda]

The first time I saw this I could only see clockwise, then another time I could see it both, changing direction quite often. Now I can only see clockwise again.

Very confusing.

 

[OzBomber]

I definately am not good at imagination and hate fantasy.

Man that's gay. I dont wanna use my right, I wanna use my left!

 

[Mickeybee]

That thing is awesome.. 3 people here see clockwise, only one anti.. So cool

 

[gerta]

Any chance its cause i'm a left hander as well??

 

[OzBomber]

Wtf. It was going anti-clockwise, then starting going clockwise. :S

 

[lachlan24]

I can now make it change directions without looking away!

 

[Huddo91]

I can see both now, just follow the leg going either way and you can change the way it looks at will.

If you see her right leg as the extended one, then she's turning anti and vice versa.

 

[Lucev23]

Damn, I can only make it go clockwise

 

[Damp Squarie]

Yeah I love this picture.

If you want her to change direction, focus on her foot.

That spun me out.
I could ONLY see her turning clockwise until I focussed on her foot; and yes she changed direction but then reverted to clockwise again.

I havent been able to do it again...DOH!

 

[ROOno.1]

wow that is trippy. At first i could only see it going clockwise and i was thinking that there is no way that it could be going in the anti-clockwise direction but now i can only see it going in the anti-clockwise direction and can't get it to swap back.

Is it something to do with how our brain interprets shapes and shaddows?

 

[dont bowl there]

Only clockwise for me, im right people who see it anti are crazy.

 

[Andre]

That's freaky. First I saw it clockwise, then blinked and it was anti-clockwise.
Most of the time I see her going clockwise, but got into her going only half a turn, back and forth clockwise/anti-clockwise at one point somehow

 

[smooking39]

I see it going clockwise but i couldnt be more left side
hmmmm dont like it

 

[micky_ashman]

that extremly trippy i can see it going both ways

 

[BringBackTheShotgun]

Argh i'm starting to get frustrated. I can only see anti-clockwise. No matter how hard I try. No matter which foot I look at.
