Just curious…

Is this girl spinning clockwise or counter clockwise? (This is about right brain vs. left brain.) Please tell me how you see it?

:) When I first saw this I could only see clockwise, that’s why I posted it. Many people see both, yet it says most people will see it anti-clockwise, which I just couldn’t see. It was really starting to bug me.

Only NOW, I’ve been staring at it a bit and I do see both!!! Suddenly she starts going the other way, then she will go back to clockwise again… this is so weird to me!!! :) How does this happen???!!

So here’s what it means:

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

It took me a long time to get her to go the other way!! Here’s a hint, look at her feet for a moment….. wait, that’s what made me see her going anti-clockwise. Maybe look at her torso.

But I don’t know why she’s mostly clockwise to me!!! :) I wanted to make sure the other side of my brain was working… LOL.

At first clockwise, after a while counter-

…but it’s not so truly left-right brain.

just an optical illusion: the image gives so poor info to the eye and your brain

‘gives’ the motion considered opportune. There’s a more cheap trick about concavity

and human face. g00gle for it…

LOL…. she goes clockwise for me much more than counter… If I stare long enough she changes, but then changes back before long. So to me she’s still mostly clockwise.

Apparently it all has to do with how you perceive it… she doesn’t actually change direction! :) If you work at it, you can see her change direction though…
