Right Brain vs Left Brain

Post Reply New Topic

I am a right brained, left eye dominant, left handed person.

Even though my left eye is dominant, it is also my very bad eye...severe astigmatism..I have been told I was born that way...I have also been told by a different doctor that there seemed to be evidence of some sort of scar tissue way way towards the back of my eye.

I sometimes wonder whether my dysfunctions are caused by there being troubles with the dominant hemisphere of my brain..

I always she her turning clockwise unless I watch her feet, them my parietal lobes realizes that she is actually turning counterclockwise, but once I take my eyes off her feet she goes back to turning clockwise in a second or two. interesting opitical illusion!

I coulda swore there were times when she was spinning in opposite directions at the same time when viewed seperately the last time i tried this.....now she keeps turning left left right right....

If that is spinning anti-clockwise, then Game programming animation to rotate clockwise would not work.... & I am Left brained to a brain test & I see it rotating clockwise, also took apart the animation and it says it is going clockwise frame by frame... Arm, leg, head, foot, hair, shadow...

Looks like a model from poser too...

Be like rotating a model clockwise in a 3d modeling program & someone else seeing it go anti-clockwise...

download this software & run the .gif through it, it speeds up the animation, & you should easy be able to change its direction.... U can also get it to wiggle its leg left & right when facing away... Also shut 1 eye & look at it

Right brain is known as the unconscious mind by the way... (* note to all too:- focus on her leg thats straight thats the trick.. )

That was odd. When the picture first loaded I saw the girl spinning counter-clockwise but then I looked away for a couple seconds to read the text, looked back and she was moving clock-wise.

And no matter how hard I try I cant make myself see her as moving counter clockwise again.

This is a really interesting one. I came across it several months ago and got to a point with it where i could 'switch' directions at will.

Does anyone know if there's any proper explanation for this anywhere? I've searched all over the place but just keep coming up with the same trite newspaper article.

It kinds of annoys me that I can't make it go back to turning counter clockwise now

I saw it spinning clockwise when I first looked and can only make the legs go counterclockwise when I focus. I lose the counterclockwise spinning as soon as the rest of the body becomes in view. It's really hard for me to make the whole body spin counterclockwise. I guess I'm right brained and left eyed based on MusicMaker1's test.

Is right or left brained related to handedness?

I write with my right hand and my right arm is stronger but shouldn't it be my left?

I’ve read that this doesn’t really work; it doesn’t depend on left/right-brainedness, only some sort of visual processing biases or something. I’ve seen it spinning in different directions whenever another site I read discovered this thing :/. The only accurate way to determine left/right brainity is supposedly to get the person talking and moving their hand around, and then to temporarily put half of their brain to sleep (forget how) — if they stop, that was the dominant half.


My end comment simply an optical illusion

this explains it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion

For a while I thought it was moving counterclockwise, but then I examined the movement of the legs because it wasn't making sense to me at all why some people would be so adamant that it was moving clockwise or switching. I noticed the moving leg changed from being the woman's left leg to her right leg as she spun but, since it was a silhouette, most observers would not catch this. After I noticed this, I focused on the legs and then was able to get the clockwise motion. After that I tried switching my perception back, and I got the leg kicking someone mentioned. After a few more seconds, I was able to switch my perception at will.

Interesting.

I don't know how true this is, when I always get a first look at her, it is counter-clockwise and it seems that it is clockwise for most people, but it changes quickly. After having seen her for a while, I get the spinning effect when I look at her face or chest, when I look at her legs, no spinning, just turning right then turning left.

hello ye all

great test this, fanks

clockwise, however

when i first got to the link the screen only showed the top - which of course sets attention in motion somewhere in the loft and elsewhere, granted - the dancer was then and for that time turning anticlockwise

when i got the whole picture i could not get out of the clockwise 'paradigm'

but felt frustrated as i had seen the other way, so back to only top view with obvious attention deficit due to priority issues
remained a frustrated clockwise male right-hemispheroid
got sidetracked by text left, read up on difference (IE searched for interpretation) and then
the dancer ever at it as steady as a clock, somewhere with my eyes falling from the wider second line over the listing down to the then topmost right leg which,suddenly, started anticlockwise downward, to finish back at around one and slip back into clockwisely

the l-r properties had already started me pondering and bemused with contradictory input: the interesting thing for me now is whether to conclude left temporal trouble, which at face value does not fit: but o yes it does & and i do love the fact that contradictions rarely arewhat they proclaim to be

the interesting thing for you is that it took me just a little bit of training and experimenting; i can now start anticlockwise and hold for a while (maybe stare instead of focus, see if you can somehow vary the level of focus-attention) whatever you do, pay priority attention to any onscreen task but leave the dancer at it and just check occasionally, as you would the babyroom on your way to the kitchen

the dancer is just like many of us and most animals: she does not like to be seen straight, but she might bend over backward for you if you just leave her somewhere in the fringes of your perception [out of sight=]

i have not (yet) been able to produce a true switch

Ourselves! Alone!

no more oblio; 03 forever

Definitely clockwise....

Once, and only once, she switched for me.

yes, i just got her to switch, not by looking besides her in my periphery (i suppose by tricking the brain at instant of relative easy, but by varying focus:

in cricket you catch the ball with 'soft' hands, i.e. you relax slightly in the wrist and into the impact-receiving hands, and give just a little right upon the moment of impact, thus absorbing all moment of the object

try catching the top foot with soft eyes where you know it will return, and then just hop on and hitch a swirl on the lady's hey ho lovely toe, i got lucky at third attempt and was soon able to switch to and fro

this can also be performed in the (top) center of the movie, where the switch seems to be initiated
