The Right Brain vs Left Brain

18 October 2007 ~ 16 Comments In the News,

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.

Right Brain vs Left Brain

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.

    I can usually only see it going clockwise. I have to work really hard to see it go anti-, then it switches back!

    it keep switching back and forth >:O

    but mostly its going right unless i happen to look up at the right time and then suddenly its going left

    A few people have told me to concentrate on the shadow to make it turn around, but whatever I do it always spins clockwise!

    Fake…two different animated images. There is a slight pause when it switches. When she turns clockwise, her left leg and arm are out. Vice-versa for clockwise.

    I don’t notice any pause and I can only see her going one way no matter how long I look.

    I don’t think it’s fake!!!

    I started seeing it clockwise but then it shifted on me and now it’s only counter-clockwise.

    Not fake. It’s just an image being compressed and stretched, and being poorly looped. I can control it at will but it started off clockwise.

    I can’t get it to go counterclockwise no matter what I do, yet I match every description for left-brained. lolwhat?

    This is fucking amazing! I have a scar on the top middle left of my head. I don’t know where it came from. the craziest thing is that the functions list on the left… I have trouble with that shit. crazy, see it clockwise also.

    Try blinking really fast. I noticed I can get it to change directions very quickly like that. Not sure what that means, but it works for me.

    It is too hard to seeing anti-clockwise for me. If I pointing another place (for example to writing under the dancer). It can be possible since for a very short time.

    when my mind is set on reading stuff it was turning anti-clockwise
    & when looked at the image it turned clockwise

    oh n the shadow thing works

    Its not a trick, its just very cleverly animated such that your brain can see either direction. I’ve been looking at this for a long long time (maybe 2 years) and I can easily switch back and forth now almost at will.
