Left or Right?
Ha! Ha!

Here's an interesting twist on the left-brain/right-brain perception test. Depending on which way you see the dancer turning purportedly indicates whether your left brain or right brain is dominant.

I started out seeing her turning clockwise, but when I looked away to read the text and then looked back, she was turning counterclockwise. I can't make her change direction when I'm looking at her, but if I look away and then look back, she changes.

Got it! Look at the shadow at the bottom of the pic for about 20 seconds then look back up at her. I was able to make her change direction that way.

Very cool find bro. :o)

An outrage. Obviously there is some mistake. She's going counterclockwise to me, but I am so not left brain dominant. "uses logic - detail oriented-facts rule- math and science- reality based-forms strategies - practical - safe"? Everyone who knows me knows that I am none of these things.

Most interesting. She started out counter-clockwise, and then changed direction. Eventually, when I concentrated on the shadow, I was able to change the direction almost at will.
