Watch the video and answer the poll! If the dancer is moving clockwise then you are right brained, but if she is moving counterclockwise then you are left brained.

I see the dancer moving clockwise which the video says is right brained, but if you say right brain people are more artsy and like music and expressiveness and left brain people are more logical and like numbers and critical thinking, I am left brained.

And I like the idea that there's a logical, put-it-in-words side of the brain. And then a pattern recognition, feel-and-texture side of the brain.

Damn, this is cool.

I dont know why but this one trapped me, hehe.

It trapped my right brain.

And I figured out that if you only watch the standing food by scrolling down a bit she'll change direction

Also for the second stage with the pattern. But for that one when you scroll back it flips!


Since here are some leftbrained: How do you perceive the second stage

And how easy is it to focus and see it turning the other way around? Without the trick I didn't manage. Verdammtnochmal :lol:

EDIT: I watched it again and now I saw it turning the other way around. Am I Rightleftbrained?

Now when I watch it again I figured out that It was more difficult again to see it moving clockwise.
It switches with every time I watch this video again.

Clockwise, and I tried it a few times.

I always thought I was more left-brained. Is it possible to switch over time?

Right brain. I also got it to go anti clockwise. Not easy to do. I have to let it happen naturally or turn away from the screen and then back.

That is a trip. I at first thought it was rigged so started back a few seconds to see if it would repeat the quick back and forth switch it had done. Nope - completely different. Started to see if I could make it happen... yeah I could but didn't like the way I felt to do it. However - this has definitely fascinated me. It appears I am mostly right brained with inducible left brain activity lol.

When I have done this in the past, I saw her going both ways but this time was only clock-wise....frustrating

Also right brain, but I even can't change the direction, no way.

It starts out with turning clockwise, then when it gets to the part where it asks do I need help. I see the anti-clock wise, if I restart the clip I see it turning anti-clockwise and then suddenly changes later back to clockwise.

I suspect that left brain vs right brain is nothing but ignorance. Where's the scientific evidence that the different halves of the brain specialize in different styles of thinking?

People who have neurological illnesses, like especially a stroke in one side of the brain, but also other, show that. There is very good evidence on that.

Right brained, interesting though, I thought that would make me left handed but I guess that's an old wives tale.
