Whoa

It's the right-brain/left-brain test. Apparently, whether you see the girl spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise tells which half of your brain you use more.

After staring at it for a few minutes, I discovered that I could make myself see her spin either way. Indeed, I got to the point where she didn't appear to be spinning at all, just swinging her foot back and forth, one way and the other. (Hint: Watch the foot. And project which direction you think it is turning.)

I might have given my brain a nice workout, but the sudden change in perspective has made me sea-sick.

Yips! to The Silver Fox.

1 Clockwise; but of course I already know I'm right-brain dominant because I'm left handed.

After a bit she changes direction. So I can see her going both ways. Look at her long enough and she turns mainly clockwise. Strange.

2 Clockwise. And I'm extremely left-brained.

3 Clockwise, and I'm another leftie (in terms of handedness). Trying to make her spin counterclockwise is incredibly difficult.

4 She spun counter-clockwise at first and then switched to clockwise after about 30 seconds. I think the thing is rigged to switch every so often.

However, I tend to left-brainedness.

5 Yeah, it does look like she switches directions on her own at odd times, but I can still make it look as if her foot is just swinging back and forth if I concentrate on it.

6 Nice tits.

7 Interesting, I am RT handed but initially could only percieve clockwise motion. Then I managed to figure out how voluntarily unfocus the eyes for a moment and have the image reverse to CCW, then back to CW and so on at will. I am sure the trick is dependent on the brain's natural penchant to establish patterns and by concentration you can flip the rythym.

8 I could only get the position to reverse if I covered up the shadow on the bottom of the screen. With the shadow, it is only clockwise.

9 Yes, the shadow doesn't reverse, but I could still get the figure to look like she did. Perhaps that's why I had such a terrible headache afterwards.
