"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.

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 see her going clockwise (list of right and left brain functions at link) but if you stare at the "reflection" of her left foot, you can "make her change directions". Edited to add, or if you see her out of your peripheral vision you might get her to change directions.

[SallyMander]

1. I definitely saw clockwise first

That's neat!

Edit: typo

[Richardo]

2. Me too.

...and I'm a lefty, so my right brain should be dominant. :thumbsup: <--also a left hand.

[IndianaJones]

3. apparently most of us see it going clockwise. nt.

[NightWatcher]

4. I see nipples

that is so trippy. She started off going clockwise, but I can make her go back and forth

[Wcross]

23. Me too! We must be perverts. n/t

[philosophie_en_rose]

5. I saw clockwise first, but then she changed directions.

I'm bi-directional.

[mainegreen]

6. She flips back and forth rapidly

weird.

Saw anti-clockwise first, then she just kept popping back and forth.


:shrug:

[johnnie]

7. I saw this before

And I *still* can't get her to go clockwise. I don't see how people can see that.


Ok, I squinted and made her go the other way.

[againes654]

27. Me either

I can only see counter-clockwise. I can not see clockwise...:cry:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

8. This chick flip-flops

I can not vote for her.

[againes654]

28. ROFL

:rofl:

[distantearlywarning]

9. Clockwise here, and I can't make her change direction.

Guess I'm really, really right-brained.

[Karenina]

21. Cross your eyes slightly

the fastest transition is the foot. My first perception was counter-clockwise and when I tried that she flipped immediately. Flipping her back took several rotations but now I can control how I see it.

[LSdemocrat]

10. Clockwise first, I looked away, then anti-clockwise for a little bit, then clockwise again

[bikebloke]

11. Anti-clockwise at first

Then clockwise. Then she winked at me.

[CGowen]

12. I see her clockwise and have to look at the rotation of the foot to make her change

[halobeam]

17. Same here...

I just shift to looking at her foot and she goes the other way.. back and forth

[Arkansas Granny]

30. Same with me. If I watch the figure it goes clockwise. The only

way I see counter-clockwise motion is to look at the shadow, but I have to really concentrate on it.

[CGowen]

34. But when I'm used to it, it's sometimes hard to change it back.... n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. Clockwise.

And I don't see counter-clockwise at all. I think I only have half a brain.

:cry:

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Counter-clockwise first, then I got her to go clockwise, and can't get her back.

I tried for a minute or two to try to get her to back to anti-clockwise, but I can't.

Weird.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. its swings both ways and is making me dizzy

[Swede]

16. Stupid brain!

[halobeam]

18. I split the screen... one of your girl here on the post

and one of the girl on the link..

one is going one way, and the other is going the other AT THE SAME TIME.

I don't think we are seeing it a certain way, I think she is doing it two different ways.

[Coyote_Bandit]

24. Yeah

I noticed the same thing. I think you are right.

[Deja Q]

19. She's hot.

I see her are more than hot; it is clear she is rotating in a consistent clockwise rotation.

Using peripheral vision, it still rotates clockwise. I just cannot see it rotating anti-clockwise.

[DS1]

20. i can switch at will

[Ava]

22. clockwise so i guess right brained

i can switch it up if i try though.

[applegrove]

25. Clockwise mostly, then she changed direction.

[ZombieNixon]

26. OK, WTF?

She started out counter-clockwise, and then she flipped, and now I can't get her to go back. x( This chick is wack!

Gaah...now she's going counter-clockwise again! :crazy:

[Perry Logan]

29. Clockwise as seen from above, or from below?

If from above, it looked counter-clockwise.

[Burma Jones]

31. First Clockwise, then Counter Clockwise

Seems intelligent to employ your "right brain" capabilities at first, then switch over

[lizziegrace]

32. Clockwise only

guess my career in accounting is the wrong one...

:)

[CGowen]

33. Either the article is wrong or the Lounge is a strange place

"Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise"

[hyphenate]

35. I see her changing directions

almost every four or five times around. You can't see it if all you're doing is staring right at her, but the leg and the reflection give that an obvious piece of evidence. I remember when the SIRDs first came out (the nearly staticy images where you could see it in 3D if you crossed your eyes a bit) and found them to be astonishingly easy for me, but I know some people who probably never saw the 3D image at all. It's a matter, I think, of how your eye interprets something and might depend a lot on your background: those who were openminded versus someone who was taught discipline and narrowmindedness. I would expect DUers to have a higher ability to see these things than....others we know online (freep! freep!).

[xchrom]

36. when i can get past the booty and the boobs --

i can get her to twirl both ways,

that being said -- i can't add 1+1.
