Right Brain vs Left Brain

[Candy Girl]

Does your right side of your brain rule or the left? Watch the girlie and see. So which are you?

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.



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

right brained.
and it's hard to see her spinning in the other direction
but it is possible

[FORD]

If you concentrate on the foot that hits the ground, you can see the dancer spinning in either direction. What does this mean, though, that we are mentally ambidextrous?

I was just about to say the same thing. I've seen her going both directions.

Probably has a lot to do with why I can't sleep worth a shit - the two sides of my brain are always arguing with each other.

[Dr. Love]

I can see both at will. But I've already tested as using both equally.

[WACF]

I don't know...does it just switch after a bit...or do we really see both.

[kwame k]

Watched it, thought one way......went and got a brew and it's the other way, too.....

Keep drinking while your watching it. At least then when you start killing brain cells, you'll know which side they're coming from :bottle:

[Candy Girl]

I'm going with predominantly right brained since it always starts out that way when I refer back to it after a few minutes, but I can switch it at will.

No it just means you are bi-curious...

[SparkieD]

When I look at her, she's going one way, but if I look away quickly and look back, she' s goin' the other.

Someone once told me I have a busy mind.

[Anonymous]

What the hell are you guys talking about? There's no way she turns around. She's always going clockwise.

Then again, I'm drunk. I'll try this when I'm sober.

Cheers! :bottle:

[Seshmeister]

Hah

This is all very strange.

I looked at this thread earlier twice and she was going clockwise and now I'm a little refreshed she is going anti clockwise.

That would mean that booze makes me more analytical and logical?

[Nickdfresh]

She's going clockwise and can't fuckall see how it could look any different. Perhaps I'm very right brained and slightly psychotic...

Although, I do not tend to believe in an absolute dichotomy of the brain as one can be both creative and logical....

[Seshmeister]

Your brain is definitely split in half.

You only need to move your right foot in little circles clockwise and then try and move your right hand the other way.

It's obviously complete and utter bullshit that the way you see a silhouette turn is in any way connected to that though. It's because of the way the brain processes this optical illusion randomly. Just a bit of fun.

[Ally_Kat]

I can see both at will. But I've already tested as using both equally.

I can change the direction as I stare at it. I haven't been tested as such, though.

However, I am left-handed and I've noticed that as I get older I'm able to do more and more with my right hand, including writing. There's been a lot of studies of lefties becoming less left-handed as they get older. Something about increased/matured nerve connections between the hemispheres...
