Which Part Of Your Brain Do You Use The Most?
This is a very interesting article published by The Daily Telegraph. Depending on which part of the brain you use the most, the left part of the brain or the right part of it, you should see the woman below dancing clockwise or counter-clockwise.
According to the article, if you see her dancing clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. What’s really astonishing about this exercise is that if you really focus and concentrate, she is going to twirl in the opposite direction.
According to the article, the following table should give you a few pointers on the characteristics of the “left brain functions” and the “right brain functions”.
| LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe |
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling “big picture” oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can “get it” (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |

Stacy:
well she changes direction and so for me she is going both directions so what does that mean for me.

I must be really screwed up because the left brain description is so much more appropriate for me but 95% of the time she is rotating clockwise for me. Occasionally I see her rotating counter-clockwise for a partial turn.

@Darrel: Same thing for me. I can only see her dancing counter-clockwise if I focus on her shadow (bottom), especially when her “real foot” touches its shadow. I guess that makes two of us “screwed up”.

Unbelievable, I can see that she is going clockwise only, but my husband is seeing the other way, who ever comes up with this idea is very interesting. Any report of how many people seeing in clockwise?

@Chicago: Same here…but I sometimes see her clockwise, then if I close my eyes and open them again, she’s counter-clockwise.
