Default Right Brain vs. Left Brain

I saw this on another forum and thought it was cool.

Which way is the dancer spinning:



If she's spinning clockwise, you are primarily right brained and more creative and free thinking. If she's spinning counter-clockwise, you are primarily left brained and more logical and organized in your thinking. Here is the article it came from: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...81-661,00.html

If you look just right, you may even be able to switch her spinning direction. It took me a minute, but I finally got it.
Crazy, because technically, she's spinning both directions at the same time.

No. Shes spinning clockwise. How do I know. Centrifigal force is pulling her arm away from her body.[8D]

Whichever way she's spinning, It looks like she's cold !

My wife and I puzzled over this for awhile one night (she saw it in one of her forums). We got so that we could see it both ways (by focusing on her pivoting foot), but at first she couldn't believe that I could see it going a different way than she did. "There's no way she's spinning ___wise!" I can't remember which way I saw it first though. I saw her going clockwise first this time though.

Weird.

I'm an "artist" by trade (graphic designer anyway) and would consider myself more right brained than left... but I showed it to my wife, who saw her clockwise first. She think's I'm more left brained.... So I think there's no science to who sees it clockwise or counter.... It's purely random! [8D]

Either way, it's a pretty cool thing that the brain does.

i got her to spin both ways after looking for a while, and yea you have to go to the pivoting foot, and the shadow. But yes, that is very very cool. i love 3d puzzle things. but i saw her clockwise first.
