Right brain or left brain?

[magical1]

Hey all, I have had this link on my computer for ages and just stumbled upon it and thought it would be a fun thing for everyone to do.

Report back which one you are...left or right brain?

Starting with me... Right.

According to the list I'm more left brain than right brain, though there are parts of both I related to. According to the picture, it turns clockwise for me, but that's no indication as to which side of the brain a person uses. How can someone who is left brain, change the rotation of a picture programmed to turn right?

Interesting MT... I am right brain on the picture (she turns clockwise) and on the list pretty much. I have sat and tried to make her turn the other way and have given myself a headache!

When my husband looks at her she turns counter clockwise. Anyone else?

[3monkeys]

Right brained. She def goes clockwise

I will get DH to do it later. He is left handed, see if that makes a difference :)

I've done this before and am left-brained (but do have some visual-spatial traits about me too), but was able to make her turn (if I didn't focus quite so much but kind of actively gazed at it if that makes sense).

[Wonder-Full]

Yep, just watched her again and had her switching directions lol.

[3monkeys]

if she doesnt move does that mean I have no brain :ROFL:

Hi,
I am right (which expains why i'm rubbish at maths) but I can make her go bothways.
I'm quite an emotional person, in a nice way of course. :-)

Very much left :)

It was interesting. First she was going counterclockwise and no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn't switch. Then I looked away for a second and when I looked back she had reversed. Weird.

I've got characteristics on both lists, although I think I'm more logical than intuitive. But I trust my intuition more than my logic because it is more dependable.

[ema-adama]

Yep, right brained here, although I got her to switch by looking away. I remember doing a long questionaire and found that I was 52% left brain and 48% right brain and some other things that I can't remember now....

I'll ask DH to take a look

Here's something realy interesting. If I want her to turn anti-clockwise, all I have to do is pray, and lower my eyes to the bottom of the screen :D.

the minute I stop praying and start concentrating part of my brain on analysing data, she goes clockwise...

Its an optical illusion folks so the right and left brained thing is complete nonsense.
The truth is there is no lady that is spinning either clockwise or anticlockwise.
Its merely a moving 2d image in frames that the brain is tricked into seeing as spinning to the left or to the right as an optical illusion.
No different to any other optical illusion where it looks like 2 things, ie the famous old hag and young lady one.

Sorry to be a myth buster.

Edit: watch the shadow to make the optical illusion spin the other way

Thanks, I was wondering because it seemed to easy to change direction.

Lol

that's why I expressed skepticism in my first post. To suggest that watching a picture determines which side of the brain you function from, is preposterous, when the brain is so complicated. And we have two sides because we use all of it :giggle: . Interesting though, that you have to "look" at it in a different way to make it turn. :alien:

[Barefoot]

Kudos to the person who created it though, a very cool optical illusion.

For a laugh what do see in this picture? Sadly i am no longer innocent it seems. LOL

Interesting illusion. At first, all I saw was the people and then I finally managed to spot the dolphins. Clever!

[Sarah]

Dolphins ? What dolphins ??

[justine]

Now thats funny Sarah.:LMAO:

[magical1]

I'm trying really hard and I can't see ANY dolphins...must be a Sarah thing eh Sarah ;)

[MinorityView]

Look at the dark areas in between the arms and so on of the people. The dolphins are hard to spot partly because they are vertical.

[magical1]

I went back and looked again and now I can see them... no where near as clear as the people though
