Subject: Right brain or Left brain?

Written By: Dude111 on 10/15/07 at 6:08 pm

Look at the image below,is the figure rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Most apparently see her rotating counter-clockwise,which apparently means they're more left-brain.

I see her clockwise,which apparently means I'm more right-brained. (Im right handed)

A friend of mine who is ambidextris sees the image change directions...... VERY INTERESTING!!

Note: The image could potentally be NWS,the figure is a silhouetted woman,nothing explicit,but figured i would let you all know.

i think it crosses over, if you're right-brained, youre left handed and vice versa.

I guess I'm the first to see her going Counter-clockwise. I'm right handed, though.

She's going clockwise for me (I'm also right-handed).

That's true.

I see her counterclockwise, which means I'm more left-brained.

The left-brain is based on linear and organization.

And the left side of the brain controls the right side of your body, and vice versa.

Whether you're more right or left brained just means you're more or less creative or logical.

This link ^ actually provides some information, rather than just the 'gif' / image seen in the link provided by 'Dude111'.

Well, Em reckons in the feedback (link above) ^ that it is not a trick. In spite of his mate's computer backround info .. I remain scepitical. Even if it's not a hoax ... can we sure it measures right/brain functioning accurately?

I watched it for a while. For around a minute, I saw it going clockwise (same direction as my watch, looking at it/ the screen) .... i.e., which is not what I expected. I'm right handed, and when psychogists have run tests on me before, my best skill by a long way was verbal .. which is left brain/ logical thinking.. I regard myself as logical, and my logical processes have often been good at helping me win trivias / fault find on electronic equipment in the past.

However ... I'm a bit of a lateral thinker ... as evidenced on this board / also at trivias. Visually though, I suck ... I struggle to see pictures in my head.

I find myself agreeing much more frequently with the 'left sided brain' of the table (see link).

I see the image switch after a minute or less to revolve anti-clockwise ... and then take turns going back and forth....

So ... it IS possible I'm a bit of both ... but I certainly would have expected a dominance of 'anti-clockwise' / left brain / logical side .. in my case.

As for the right hand ... that was out of action for a couple of weeks earlier this year, following a bad cut to my fingers. Had to develop my left hand to do all kinds of personal things that it wasn't good at, like in those bathroom breaks ... and then those other practices !  :o .

Yes, it's just NOT the same !  :P  :D

By the way ... when I'm 'dead and gone' .. I will donate what's left of my brain to science .... so that, following analysis,  they can hopefully make an android of me to make posts here ... should any of you miss me.  :\'(

I scrolled down the page, and when I came back, she was going the opposite direction.

XD I'm ambidextrous, but can't control it!

This is odd, the first time I clicked I saw counter clockwise,  I clicked in again and it was clockwise  and appears to remain that way now.  I am right handed  ???

I haven't clicked on this particular link but it sounds the same as something I checked the other day on a science forum.

When i looked first it was going clockwise, then I read the stuff at the side and it switched to going anti-clockwise.  Now I can change the direction almost at will by 'making' the leg switch from coming towards me to going away from me.

Same here, I just checked it again, and now it is clearly going clockwise. Before it was very obvious to me it was going counter-clockwise. I wonder if it changes at some point - this is very strange  :-\\

Detained, and kept seated in a waiting room, where they can play a frantic game of 'pass the parcel'.  :P  :D

It is built with elements that suggest it's going either way. It's up to your brain to decide which way it goes. If you leave and then look at it again, your brain my reinterpret it.

Ahhh, okay. So, what does this say about my brain - that I can see it two different ways?

Clockwise for me. I'm a left-hander, left-footer & right-brainer. Which makes perfect sense.
