Brain Test

This is interesting. (You'll have to click on the picture and open it in a new window to get it to work. Hopefully. Sorry if it doesn't.)"If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it 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 are 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 whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity."


For me, she spins clockwise, but with much concentration, I can get her to go counterclockwise.

I can't really make it spin at all...I guess I don't have a brain. :)

I can't make something that is spinning right turn around and go left just by looking at it.

Ok so I stared at this DUMB thing for 10 min and couldn't get it to turn clockwise... then rich came home and saw both within 1 min... Fantastic I'm a left brainer married to a bi- brain...i hate this woman.

That is so HILARIOUS to me that I really sat there for 10 minutes looking at a static picture trying to make it move in my mind. I feel like a complete idiot.

That was trippy! I saw her spin both ways within a minute...I loved it!
