Is this dancer spinning clockwise, or counter-clockwise?

...If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.


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

Don't feel bad Kitty. I am trying to figure out what part of the brain I am using when I see her fall. :wave:

:floor:...maybe a lobotomy would help us.

OMG! It does change if you visualize it spinning the other way, but I had to try REALLY hard - that is TOO freaky!

I cannot get her to go any way but counter-clockwise. So this means I use my Left Brain? My whole perception of myself for my whole life has been based on fantasy if this is true! :yikes: Say it ain't so, Joe...

Holy cow!! She was spinning clockwise and then all of a sudden she was spinning the other way. Don't know how I did it. Wow!

Oh man this is freaky. I can make it go back and forth at will.:yikes: The trick is to follow her leg around.

That's funny, because she changes legs.

The right side of my brain definitely rules, and I have been accused way to often of living in a fantasy world. :biggrin:

Look at the shadow of the extended foot. It really switches then.

my boyfriend always asks me "where's your brain?" I'm beginning to believe I don't have one half.

YES-YES!!
Focusing first on The SHADOW is how I'm able to turn her counter-clockwise!

COOL BEANS SJ!!! What a great exercise in perspective development! :clap:

I can't see it either...she only goes clockwise.


I think my left brain must have fallen out of my head... seriously. I've tried all of the tricks and just cant see it...

You have confirmed one thing for me...the left side of my brain is still missing. :wave:

Mine too. That's OK- I realized a long time ago that I only have half a brain.:lol:

I wonder if it would change if you stared at some geometrical shapes or graph paper for a few seconds before looking at it?

You have to try REALLY hard and visualize in your head, then as soon as you stop she goes back to turning clockwise again. :roll:

Wouldn't it be interesting if we tried as hard to understand people with whom we disagree? In this battle above, we are just trying to battle with our own mind, to see the other perspective.

The right-brained characteristics describe me pretty well and I defintely see her spinning clockwise. However, h I was finally able to get her to spin counterclockwise by focusing on her standing foot.

I can't wait to share this with my family. It is really interesting.

I can only see her going clockwise no matter how long I stare at her or where I stare (I tried staring at the foot and the shadow). But then again I only stared for a minute so maybe it takes longer. Anyhooo, where did you find her, SJ? Is there an Internet link? I'd like to show this to some people and see what they do with it.

I am right brained based on the description, which describes me well.
