Right Brain vs Left Brain test ...

You all need to take this test... it is way cool. Which way do you see the lady spining? At first I saw her spining to the right, but after I focused on her feet, I was able to change the direction she was spinning... check it out for yourself and tell me what you think!

The Spining Lady test

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

That is wild! At first I saw her counter-clockwise, then she suddenly turned clockwise only. I thought maybe it was really in the animation program, so I reloaded the page and ahe was still clockwise. So I tried focusing on getting her counterclockwise, and she turned. Then I spent a few minutes with it and I could get her to turn either direction by focusing for a few seconds. Very trippy! What fun!!!

How did your class go?

first I thought I was really dumb because I couldn't see her twirling any other way than anti-clockwise, I was trying to focus really,really hard, then I moved the page and she flipped directions it was WIERD!
