The Right Brain vs. Left Brain

[Altitudes]

Thread stolen from Nevermore forum. Pretty neat illusion...

Which way does the dancer rotate, Clockwise or Counterclockwise?

 

[Knarfi]

Right brain.. lulz, i can change the direction though :zombie:

 

[inhe]

I saw that one, although not from the Nevermore forum. It's pretty cool once you get the hang of it.

It's easier to change if it goes slower.

 

[OvSeth]

Err.. I saw it both Clockwise and Counter Clockwise.. Weird, nice find!

Edit: Clockwise.

 

[Altitudes]

For the longest time I couldn't make it go clockwise. I guess my left brain is stubborn. Now I can change it on demand

Clockwise, so right side of the brain:

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking


I'm a softie

well right brain is the musical side of the brain.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

Well most of those pertain to me. How is right side of the brain the musical side? Is that the more creative, musical hemisphere of the brain?

I can't make it change! My right side is too dominant!

Stare at the foot that is grounded. After some time it should change direction

Look at the slower one Inhe posted.

OMFG IT WORKED AND IT MADE THAT PART OF MY BRAIN HURT!

 

[Mystique1721]

dammit, i got it to change once, but it's not changing anymore. I'm a right-brain person.

 

[Corny]

Haha, I managed to change the direction. I rule both sides of my brain. I'm god.

 

[Leandro]

The right-side/left-side seems like a ruse to me. No one's ever demonstrated (to me) that if you use more the right side she will dance this or that way. Both of them probably use the visual area...it's a very interesting illusion though

 

[deathroll149]

i saw clockwise

 

[jmbullet]

both sides for me

i can't get the damn thing to go counter-clockwise. maybe my right-side pwns.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

weird... i see the dancer going clockwise and counter-clockwise alternating.

 

[Mystique1721]

weird... i see the dancer going clockwise and counter-clockwise alternating.

yeah, now i can see it like that also. the trick is to watch for her upper leg crossing over the grounded one. i think that's the point where your mind can change the direction she's moving.

Yeah that makes it easier.. but at some point the foot was going clockwise, but the rest of the body counter clockwise
