Reideen1313 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Right brain vs left brain test: Which way is she turning? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain. If counter-clockwise, you're more of a left brained person. LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses logic practical facts rule words and language present and past math and science comprehension knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies detail oriented safe RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling spatial perception "big picture" oriented symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion understands 'meaning' easily believes appreciates imagination rules knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbpanizzi Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What does mean when you can see it alternating between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What does mean when you can see it alternating between the two? Not sure but it did that for me too... Initially clockwise though... With a little practice I can even make it change directions on cue... by staring at a specific body part :| (no not the boobs Danny!) Cool stuff Reideen! T.

jcastick Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 So what happens when I look directly at it and it is going counter-clockwise, but when I look away from it and can still see it in the corner of my eye, it is going clockwise? Is that considered one side over the other or isn't it split evenly...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 She only ever turns counter-clockwise for me. Guess I'm left brained. Here's a question, If the right side of the brain, controls the left side of the body, and the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, then are only left handed people in their right mind?

handsomedevil Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I only see her turning clockwise. I can't figure out how it's even supposed to "appear" that she's going counter-clockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Right-brained here - hooray for poor math skills and a lack of comprehension! Thanks for posting this, Reideen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 My wife sent me a link to that the other day. Initially I see her spinning clockwise but when I rationalize how to see her spin the other way, it apparently turns on my left brain and she changes direction. Pretty cool.

gambitron Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Right brained all the way here. I stared for quite some time and still only see clockwise. Strange. It's like those hologramish pictures from years ago that look just like a bunch of colors but if you star at them in a certain way you can see some picture in them, I could never see the picture.

Shanester Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I can't even trick myself into seeing her rotate counter-clockwise. I guess I'm a heavy right-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It is really freaky. I mainly see her travelling clockwise but if I look away and then back I'm suddenly seeing her going the other way. Totally bizarre, cheers Reideen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigilante Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Freaky. Every so often it changes direction for me. Freaky. Patriot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yup, initially clockwise for me, then I looked down to read what that meant. When I looked back up she was going counter clockwise. And yeah, silhoetted norks FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 When I 1st came across it it was going counter clockwise. Now I can flip it back and forth pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Counter clockwise for me. I however can make her change direction on cue. Try scrolling down until all you can see if her feet (not her legs) and concentrate till it looks like it's just flipping back and forth, then visualize it moving the other direction. Really awesome!

Deadpool Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I blink really fast and she flips. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't know how well this will work in a forum like this (somebody will almost definitely spoil the fun), but, check out this link, and do the following: "When viewing the video, try to count the total number of times that the people wearing white pass the basketball. Do not count the passes made by the people wearing black. When you're done, visit the main lab web site for more information." Be sure to pay very close attention to the number of times the ball is passed by people wearing white shirts. This is important. You need java player to see this. I had a whole class that was given this in an undergrad cognitive psychology class, and very few of us were able to correctly count the number of passes. Its surprising what the mind can do. No spoilers ! http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/media/ig.html Click the "View the "basketball" video" link After you have tried this a couple of times, click here for the correct answer: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/07/looking_without.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Customizer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I can't even trick myself into seeing her rotate counter-clockwise. I guess I'm a heavy right-brainer. You and i both. Its clearly a clockwise rotation to me and i cant see any reason to think otherwise (even after staring at its butt. Hey...i like nice behind lol). Edit: WHOA! I stared at the knee for a bit of time and forced my mind to counter rotate and eventually it started "turning" in the other direction. It took a bit of forcing in order it to rotate in teh clockwise direction a 2nd time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesLuvsShinzon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Right brained ~ and I stared at it for ages trying to make it turn the other way...maybe if it had been a naked bloke and I had something to fix my eyes on! Anyhoo, the right-brained attributes are reasonably on song...apart from the religion thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
