Left or Right Brain?

If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it her tuning the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current. BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN.

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides or hemispheres of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts

Right Brain
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes



Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more who le-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain activities. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

If you look away, she may switch from one direction to the other.

I found that if I just look at her feet or relax and look at the floor where the reflection shows, she will switch direction!

I found this extremely interesting. Worth passing on. I can see it both ways. Very cool indeed. The key element is her extended foot. Watch it. Enjoy.

Well, it wasn't the clock I was looking at. :lol: :oops: :twisted:

BUT, I eventually realized when I first started staring, I mean looking at it, it was counterclockwise, then when I read your 1st paragraph and looked up again, it was clockwise. Does that mean I'm a left-brainer first?? :wink:

So I wasnt the only one. 8)

I only see her spinning one direction, Clockwise. If I focus just off the picture, i can see her spinning the other direction until I blink, then it goes back to clockwise.

I can ONLY see Clockwise. Nothing else.

PS the Girl is a 3d Mesh known in the 3d Community as "Posette" she, and the hairstyle she is wearing were stock items in an old 3d package.

Wait, she does have hair doesn't she? :lol:

Y'all I'm just picking at MacUser a little here for fun. Don't take offense, please.

It does remind me of the opening credits on a 007 movie, though.

Notice the extended foot. As it rotates it's going from far to near (smaller getting larger). As it crosses over her standing leg.. it switches instantly from near to far to near again.

So she is actually rotating both ways and splits in the middle to the keen eye. Look again and not at the *ahem* shapes

that is pretty cool. i saw counter clock wise first. then clock wise....then back to counter. its hard to stare at it and force it to change directions.

I can get it to switch, and what's cool is that when her left leg is on the ground, the right arm is extended outward more, and then when her right leg is on the ground, her left arm extends out.

The shadow of her extended foot moves from right to left no matter which way she turns. Weird.

yes. switches easily. initially was CCW, but is either, depending on what I had been doing or thinking about previous to opening the browser at this point.

I can see both directions and switch back and forth.

Counterclockwise

Counterclockwise -- she is spinning counter-clockwise. I can barely, almost, see her go clockwise, but it switches back immediately.
