Right vs. left brain

David Carlson, 13 October, 2007

Which way do you see the dancer turn? If you see her turn clockwise, then you use more of your right side of your brain, and vice versa you use the left side of your brain (the text information in the beginning of the film is wrong…) However, most people will see the dancer turning anti-clockwise.

Normally you say that the right side of the brain is more creative orientated and the left side more logic. According to me the dancer turns clockwise! Do the test with your friends, it’s quite astonishing to see that different people see the dancer turn in different directions.

    According to me the dancer turns clockwise! so we both have the same point of view..

    it difficult for me to understand the other side..
    i think noone can see her turns anti-clockwise.

    Yatzer, It seems strange but I have friends that only can see the dancer turn anti-clockwise…

    Interesting, to me, moving my eyes to the text below and bringing them back, changes the direction of the spinn and can almost do it repeatedly back and forth. Might this have something to do about being tired? Also, a slight disruption in my computer screening kind of “vibrating” the moving picture, brings the same effect. Have not tested with friends yet. Amusing.

    I initially saw clockwise movement, but after a few seconds, it flipped. I can sometimes flip the view multiple times by opening and closing my eyes. very interesting video.

    No matter how I look at it, or how many times she still turns colckwise.

    I mostly see her turn clockwise; but can sometimes get her to turn counter clockwise. Sometimes I can get her to do it on command and sometimes she won’t change direction at all. Occasionally, she vacillates back and forth until she finally goes one way or the other. My son can see it both ways at will. If you take the brain tests, you will find which is most dominant. All the brain tests I have taken indicate that I am right in the middle which would explain the reason she turns both ways for me. I do not think it has anything to do with your IQ, but more with the way you learn, think and perceive things. There was a really good brain test going around a few years ago; but I did not found it again when I looked today. Considering the description on one of the sights; most people should see it going counter clockwise.
