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

I seem to be able to make the image reverse direction at will.

Is this legit or some kind of gag.

My initial perception was that it was moving in a clockwise direction.

That's funny. I'm the most left-brain person I know - but clearly the dancer is rotating in the "right brain" direction.

Maybe it's because I am a dancer, and that limited part of my perception IS right brained.

I can change the direction by looking away and looking back. What does that mean? Initial look was counter clockwise.

The nips are distracting.

when you reverse it's direction, it REALLY spins fast for a half a rotation or so for your eyes to catch with your mind, or maybe visa versa...

She’s going strictly clock wise for me. Interesting...

Look at her with left eye open right eye closed she turns clockwise.

Right eye open and left eye closed she turns counter-clockwise.

Both eyes closed she...well, we won't go there.
