The Right Brain vs Left Brain test fapfap­
The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

She is turning clockwise, theres no right/left side of brain anything.

It's not about which side of the brain you use corresponding to which way she's turning...

OH GOD MY BRAIN. What the fuck?

Ok that was odd. I opened it the first time without reading and she turned counter-clockwise. Then read, re-opened twice and she's going clockwise both times.

LOL WUT

Just watch the shadow.... it's counter clockwise...

This is really fucked up, someone posted it in /b/. First time I look at it, again, it's counter-clockwise, every time after it's clockwise. Bizarre.

it's quite interesting, when i opened it she turned counter-clockwise, after watching a little bit she suddenly turned clockwise

now, after 5 minutes of watching and trying, i am able to change her direction by will ^^

I can see it either way depending on which way I look at it.

And it hurts like hell trying to change directions.
>> sage Anonymous
It changes. I made sure. I only saw clock-wise for a long time, and then while focusing on the spinning foot, it changed direction completely.

It's not possible to see jsut one, watch for a while

yeah, the direction changes for me randomly...

Cover part of the picture with your thumb, it's easier to change directions that way.

This is an optical illusion. She can be turning either way there is no right or wrong direction. Best method for "Changing direction" is to concentrate on her lower foot. Say you see it clockwise: You need to imagine that every time the foot moves left to right that instead of it being infront of her it is behind her. It's not easy but you really need to concentrate on just the foot and suddenly the rotation will flip and as you move your eyes up she will appear ot be spinning in the opposite direction.

Anyone who says it's spinning only one way obviously hasn't been able to see it both ways because when you do, each direction seems as likely as the other.

Clockwise.

I think it has something to do with whether you focus on the actual foot or the reflection of the foot first.

i change my perception quickly that way

This is obviously about what your first impression is, not about whether you can see it both ways or not.

The trick is that it´s a 2D projection of a 3D-movement. let a pendulum swing in a circle and shine a light at it, the shadow at the wall only goes from left to right, so the shadow doesnt tell you which way the pendulum rotates. if you see it clockwise now, look at the foot´s shadow (easiest point to switch your perception).
now imagine it as the projection of a pendulum that swings counter-clockwise. keep imagining that and focus on the base foot´s shadow. at some point your brain will start interpreting the silhouette as the projection of a counter-clockwise spinning. look at the woman now and bitch spins counterclockwise

well, first of all hemispherical dominance is a scientific fact, you can be either left or right brained. tested it on 4 people, all of which did a legit test on the matter (cognitive science students lol), the image proved to get 100% accuracy in telling which hemisphere dominates. so, yeah, there is something to it.

She turns both ways. To help the illusion, watch the feet; you'll be able to see her turn both directions if you know how silhouettes wirk.
>> Anonymous
ME LIKES MINDFUCKING!
>> Anonymous
this is a flawed test due to the fact that she is in a 3d space. as such, you can tell which way she is supposed to be spinning from the angle. imagine drawing a circle where the tip of her foot is. it would draw a circle in perspective and you can tell which way she is spinning from that.
>> Anonymous
i can make it go either way but i have to cover all except a little bit of bottom foot then watch it go back and forth then see all then it might change
>> Anonymous
took me a while but yes, it can look like its turning both ways. I was able to get it to change by focusing on top for counter clockwise and bottom for clockwise

Exactly. It is without doubt counter-clockwise. According to the shadows and movements it could not, even for a single frame transition, be clockwise.

It's amazing this thing is still around and still generating as much "discussion" as it has. It's turning clockwise, from the perspective of looking down through the centerline of the body.

Why you idiots have absolutely no spatial perception is simply beyond my ability to reason.

It's a silhouette of a rotating 3d model, it doesn't need to change. If you open it in Imageready you can see there is only one rotation on a loop. It's simply impossible to say which way it is rotating, both directions are possbiel which is why it is possible to see it in both ways at will.
>> Anonymous
so why does the article say that a majority of people would see it spinning CCW where here it appears that most say it is spinning CW?
>> Anonymous

The article can say whatever it wants. Seeing as it doesn't actually provide any evidence for any of what it contains it doesn't really matter. It might be right it might be wrong but it doesn't actually state which direction the girl is spinning it just says what certain people will see. It's probably a load of bullshit.

I've uploaded a slowed down version of the GIF where it is possible to willingly change the direction you perceive before the girl has even rotated once. You can make it seem as though she's going back and forth.

first time open clockwise look at the foot then back at the girl counter clockwise.

This "test" has no real scientific value about brain lateralism, it's just an optical illusion. People who don't see the other direction do not worry, that doesn't really say much about your intelligence either. (Except that you fall for trolling)

What you need to do is literally imagine it's going the other way. Do this by watching the lower foot. As the toes go from right to left, you are seeing them as facing away from you. You need to imagine them facing towards you as the go right to left. Try it with the slowed down version first it's much easier
>> Anonymous
Or maybe the problem is that some people don't know what the difference between clockwise or counter clockwise is.
BTW its clockwise for me

I don't think it has to do with brain hemispheres.

I'm a dancer & know that for her to turn ccw in that pose is extremely hard. Doesn't mean I'm right brain, but I know that it would extremely hard to move that way, I can't get my mind to see it the other way.

If you see only one direction it just means that.. you're human.
That's how the human brain works.
There are some tricks you can use to see the other direction, but your brain as well as any other human brain will choose randomly one that makes sense (there are two) and try to stick with it.

Just to reiterate, you can perceive her rotating both ways. First I saw her rotate clockwise, after I focused on the shadow, it look like she was rotating anti-clockwise.

better question:

Why are you wasting our time with this shit?
>> Anonymous
You all fail at this by trying to rationalize it and trying to make it change. The entire idea is to see which side of your brain dominates by what direction she is turning on your initial view of it. It is all about your very first perception of it. It is spinning in one direction and only that direction but due to the way your right and left hemispheres perceive things differently she may appear to turn in the other direction to some of us.
