Right Brain/Left Brain
« on: August 22, 2008, 02:52:38 PM »


Hi,

I forget what I was looking for, but I came across this.  http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22556281-661,00.html

At first, the figure seemed to be going anti-clockwise.  Then it began to look like it was going clockwise.  I couldn't make it go anti clockwise after that. 

See what you think and if you are right brained or left brained.

I don't know how scientific the test is, but I think it is harmless either way.

Aaagh! Definitely clockwise!! I kept looking and looking at it to see how anyone could see her going counter-clockwise ... and I couldn't.

??????? Really tried.

But I am most definitely a total right-brainer, so at least in my case it works.

I'm going to keep going back and trying to see how she dances counterclockwise....

Very fun and interesting, TT. Thanks!

Oh My

first look------clockwise

second look..... counter clockwise.

reading the material at the side, so peripheral vision was only one move one way and one the other then back and forth until I looked at it.

Just look away and back and see if it changes

I feel weird as I see both.

Hi

checking in again

I was waiting for the image to load and then
clockwise...............................look away then back
counter...............look away then back
clockwise...
Peripheral vision No one has mentioned theirs, but again mine is "switch back and forth" AND this time I allowed longer and could almost see/explain. but not quite, the reason? point? trick? properties? makeup of the image!

Will try again later

No matter now long I stared or how long I tried, I cannot make the figure go counter-clockwise in my mind. Only clockwise.  And I really tried. Weird!

Wait--I tried clicking on and off of this--it changes direction!  Not in my mind, on the screen.  Anyone else  see this?  Keep trying.
