"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.

7. I saw this before
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 10:42 AM by johnnie
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.

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.

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.

13. Clockwise.

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.

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.

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


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


Do I agree with the criteria? In order:
Maybe
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Sometimes
Yes, I understand
Yes
Yes
Yes (very yes)
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes (oh yes!)
Sometimes


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

Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 12:49 PM by Perry Logan
If from above, it looked counter-clockwise.

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

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!).
