Left or Right Brain?

[Chaz]

This is very weird to say the least. When I first looked at the Dancer, she was turning one way, then I was able to see her turn to opposite direction. Depending on how I viewed the dancer, I could make her go in either direction. Very Weird. :shrug1:

Give it a try and see which way she turns. :icon_confused:

[surveyor]

Counter-clockwise for me.

I had the same experience. When I first started, she was going clockwise, but after reading the lists on the left, she was going counter-clockwise.

Maybe that's a test of which part of the brain you're using right then?:confused:

[cdrw]

Is that dancer naked?

[tauzreborn]

I have a hard time believing that anyone sees the dancer spinning counter-clockwise.

Seriously, do you really see it spinning counter-clockwise?

[tauzreborn]

Ok, so if you want to switch it up - you need to look in the general direction at the dancer, but not directly at her. Then slowly move your eyes toward her. After a few seconds though your brain will switch it back to normal.

[Prince21]

Mine was going clockwise when I first looked. If you focus on the spinning leg and tell yourself it's going around the back and not the front(which it appears), the direction will change.

[HOMEYCAT]

When the heel hits the floor, I can switch to clockwise... The strongest vision is counter-clockwise. When I look at the whole thing and not a leg or an arm or the pony tail, I see strong counter clockwise. But, I can switch it back and forth. :thumbup:

Seriously. Yes. Counter-clockwise is effortless for me to visualize. I have to work at it fairly hard to visualize clockwise rotation.

[BrassowFan]

It was initially counter-clockwise for me but I was able to go back and forth several times.

[misterbluecat]

I can make it go both ways with little effort. Does that mean I am a witch? :icon_mrgreen:

Yes, undoubtedly. Same here...;)

[freethrow]

It only goes counter clockwise for me. But, when I look only at her butt for a few minutes she does slow down a bit. I sort of appreciate that too. :icon_mrgreen:

[Calsegs]

She rotated clock-wise for several spins, then counter clockwise, then clockwise, then counter, etc.

Alternating spinning directions was what my brain wanted to do, no matter how hard i tried, I couldn't turn her into a him, or put clothes on either of them.

Me, too. No matter how hard I try, I simply cannot change from a clockwise motion. While I accept others' testimony that they can see another motion direction, it apparently is not possible for me to experience it. I'm extremely left-handed. Maybe that's why.

[jaspcat]

Pretty cool, no way she's moving counter-clockwise.

[Kentucker]

tauzreborn, jaspcat,

Are you left-handed? If so, have you ever taken a test to see how "left-handed" you are? I did and the result was that I'm 85% oriented to my right brain with an expectation that the percentage would be significantly higher if I had not been brought up in a right-handed world. :)

On the contrary. No way she's moving clockwise.....:icon_lol:

I'm completely left handed as well...............to the point that when I attempt to dribble a basketball with my right hand it feels as if I'm using my fist.........:icon_biggrin:

[gerntz]

I think they kept switching which way she turns. To her right, then left, then right again.

I really don't care though. I just kept looking till I slapped myself (in the face).

TL needs to take this test after a night on the CO weed & Makers to give us the definitive answer though. Terry, where are you?

[Kentucker]

Okay. After some intense conditioning, I am able to make her turn CW or CCW at will. Very clever.

[Littlemeyer]

Outrageous! :mad:

I FINALLY got her to turn clockwise; now I CANNOT get her to go back to CCW!

(I vote 'rigged', too. :icon_biggrin:)

[BlueHatWildcat]

I HATE myself!! she was going cw then ccw for a split second and now cw again. TURN THE OTHER WAY!!

[freethrow]

Now I just woke from a nap a few minutes ago and I have a splitting headache but today it will go clockwise for me. But, I have no idea what I am doing to cause it to do that? I looked at it every way I could think of yesterday for nearly 10 minutes and counter clockwise was all I could get. Not even a hint of clockwise?

I thought this info was interesting.

Man that's wacko.

[Gunsmoke]

She went clockwise several turns then once or twice counter then spun perpetually clockwise. I thought it may have something to do with the two parts I was focusing on. Like maybe she was trying to get away from me or something. She could run but she couldn't hide.

[UKSam]

I think that some really clever reporter made a bar bet with co-workers that he could get a suggestive pic of a women with......well anyway I think he bet he could do it and fooled his editor with the right/left brain study.

I am extremely right handed and I use mathmatics on an everyday basis.
