Left Brain Right Brain

26 Oct, 2007  |  Posted by Danesh  |  in Cool Stuff

Look at the lady in the picture below. Is she spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

We use both sides of our brains to understand what we see, feel and smell. In this example your brain will either tell you that she is spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you use your right brain then she would spin clockwise and if you use your left brain you’ll see her spin anti-clockwise, this is what most people see but I saw her spin clockwise initially.

Can you change the direction she spins? The answer is yes. Concentrate and you might pull it off, I did :)

So what does this all mean? Read on to find out but not till you have done the above.

    Coolness. I can make it spin counter or clockwise just by closing my eyes.

    Am I sick? :)

    just focus away for a second and you’ll see the different spins… worked for me.

    Some of my friends think it’s a trick or something. Up to a point where he loaded up Imageready just to make sure there’s no trickery involved.

    I was like… what?

    Spins anti clockwise for me most of the time. I use the mouse cursor to help me switch … but it usually switches back to anti clockwise … what a dull person I am :( Wait till I see her in color and make her jump out of the screen :P Hmmmm … the thought of that made me scroll up and see her going clockwise.
