The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

when you think the leg is spinning towards the back, instead picture it spinning towards the front....

clockwise unless i look at the shadow of the foot and it goes counter until I look at the legs again and it switches back.

Holy shit! They're fucking with us. That did the trick.

oh and I really suck at math and programming too so this makes sense.

it doesn't make sense for me at all. i'm totally the suck at all things on the side of the brain that have to do with math.

I never really understood how such imagry implied brain side-dominance.

Wrong. I've looked at it several times and it only goes counter clockwise for me, nothing I can do to see it any other way.

I couldn't make it switch for about 10 minutes of trying either but then i did it for a minute. Probably still couldn't make it switch if i tried now. Once you see it one way it is very difficult to see it any other way because you learn what what you think it should rotate. But my original explanation is why it works. It's that moment when the two legs become one that tricks your brain...that combined with the upper part of the body twisting unusually. It's just an illusion.

It probably doesn't.

I know I am left side dominated from EEGs but I saw the image going clockwise. The illusion in no way suggests dominance of one side of the brain over the other. Hogwash.

i can make it go either way, but i saw it going clockwise first. which is weird because i'm definitely left-brained

same here and I only saw it going clockwise.

wierd.. very strange...
