Left Brain - Right Brain


http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/left...vity-or-logic/

Which way is she spinning?

Most of the time it's clockwise for me. If I concentrate, she'll go counter-clockwise for about one spin, then clockwise again. Sometimes, she'll make half spins, alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise, then she'll go clockwise again.

I guess I'm more right brain than left brain.

Hi Heather --

I mostly saw the spin as clockwise (right brain version), but then I figured out that if you move your head from side to side (still looking at the figure but allowing your head to tilt to one shoulder and then the other), you can easily switch the spin back and forth, or keep her from spinning all the way around at all.

I guess it depends on how awake I am and/or what kind of mood I'm in, as to how I see it.

Right now, about the only thing I see are half turns back and forth. The one thing I haven't seen at all, is continual counter-clockwise. So I guess it still means I'm more right than left brain, but pretty much in between.

It's almost hypnotizing, if you watch it for very long.

I tried and tried to see it go counter clockwise but only saw it clockwise. I've always been told I was right brained I guess they were right. Hmm my lesion is in the right temporal lobe - any correlation?
