The Right Brain vs Left Brain

[Jedimindtrixxx]

Bah, I suck. I can only make it go counterclockwise :banghead:

ur not watching it for long enough

I managed to make it spin both ways, but the left part of my head hurts now ... And I am serious.

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

do you KNOW the left part of your brain hurts or do you THINK your left side hurts because you were doing something related to brain sides?

I can make it change at will, looking directly at it as a whole, looking at the details, at whatever part, as and when I want to. No tricks or anything. I assume that means I use both sides of my brain equally, which goes in the face of everything my teachers keep trying to say (it's clearly some crappy attempt to make us think about how we learn best, and they are convinced that you have to be one way or another, but I just disproved that theory ).

If I concentrate on the feet it's like a pendulum.

But normally it just looks clockwise.

I don't think this thing really works; I don't think it turns in a direction depending on what brain side you use more atm. Because both sides are for different things, so if you are moving, it should turn in a different direction. The Brain sides aren't mirrored.

First time I opened the page it was clockwise. Then I looked at the text for a couple of seconds and it changed to anticlockwise. Hasn't changed since then and I failed to make it change direction.

That said, I really doubt the rotation of a picture can determine whether a person is more logical or imaginative. Still pretty interesting how different people here see it differently though.

I don't get it. Would it really turn counter-clockwise if I stared long enough?

It's obviously going clockwise...look at her face. :nuts:

You might perceive it that way.

I was staring at it for a while, trying to figure out how to make it change directions, when, and then trying to force my brain to make it change directions. After a while, I figured it out, and was able to do it.

Of course I had it happen on accident quite a few random times, which helped me to see how to do it on command.

It has to happen when her outward leg goes all the way to the left or right of the screen. It helped to watch the arc that it's moving on, and try to imagine it going behind her, instead of in front of her.

I've seen this before, it's pretty cool. I can see a bit of both, but more clockwise rotation.

Nah, it depends on which side of the brain you use and, if you have a good 3d sense and you are imaginative you should be able to turn it at will. I guess 3d modelers would be able to move it both directions, at will, because they exercise a lot in changing perspectives and stuff like that.

It's obviously going clockwise...look at her face. :nuts:

Some could say "It's obviously going counter-clockwise...look at her face. :nuts:"

I got it to go both ways!

Same.
