Here is a test you can take to see if you are right brain or left brain. I clicked on the test and had to study it for a while. Really, quite a long time. Then I had to go back and re-read the premise of the test and the question it was asking.

Then I studied the test a while longer.

Apparently the idea is that if you think with one brain you see one thing, and if you use another brain you see something else, and if you think with yet another brain, you see yet something else.

I'm not sure yet. I have to go back and study it a while longer.

Interesting!

At first I saw her moving anticlockwise. No doubt about it. I tried to make her go the other way, but couldn't.

Then I looked away for a few seconds, looked back, and lo and behold she was moving clockwise!

With a bit of practice I found that I can switch the apparent direction when it's at the midpoint, and she suddenly seems to reverse her direction of rotation.

Fascinating. At first I could only see clockwise. After awhile, I looked away and came back to counter-clockwise. By moving my eyes to the left and right I was finally able to switch direction at will. Most interesting. What does it mean?

That's really wierd, could only see her moving anti-clockwise first. Looked away for a couple of seconds and saw her moving clockwise. After glancing away again saw her terning anticlockwise for 18 degrees then clockwise for 180 degrees

Man.   I must lack imagination. To me, she turns so obviously clockwise I have no idea of how to get her stopped and going the other way. After all, her right foot swings over the left foot- how can I change that?

Wait, wait! I just went back and watched some more and suddenly she raised her left foot and swung it forward. Then she kind of twisted and went back to clockwise. She is possessed, I tell you.

At first she was turning clockwise. Couldn't get her to reverse unless I read the lists and really concentrated on 'just the facts'. Got to where I could get perceptions to switch directions, but never quickly or easily.

Facinating.

I saw glimpses of her turning counter-clockwise, but it kept going back to clockwise. I had to look at the shadows under her feet and I could "make" her feet reverse direction, then look at the rest of the image to follow. Given a little study it's probably not impossible to make her go back and forth at will.

Amos beat me to the line about the third brain. No wonder John studied this image so intently! :)

2) she seemed to be going clockwise - no matter what I tried to think.

3) I looked at the shadow of her feet, then looked back, and she was going anti-clockwise!

The thing to do is mount yourself onto a large revolving circular apparatus, similar to a target on an archery range. You tie yourself onto it with arms and legs spread out. Someone hits a button and the thing starts rotating, first clockwise, then counterclockwise. At the same time you observe the girl on the computer screen. What direction is she now moving in? Repeat several times, altering your own direction of rotation, and take copious notes...

I saw her moving clockwise, then thirty minutes later she had reversed. Is this a function of reverse image control by the website, or an optical illusion caused by brain function?

I think I've figured it out- when I unfocus my eyes I can make the figure turn counter-clockwise. In other words when I'm NOT seeing clearly I am using my left brain. :)

Yes, Ebbie. It's in the eye focus. You can also do the same if you cross your eyes slowly until you "refocus" and the spin changes direction.

I guess I'm ambicephalic. At first she was turning cloclwise. Then counter-clockwise. Then I looked away for a moment, and, by golly, she was going clockwise again. . . .

I couldn't make ber change direction, nor could I predict which way she would be turning when I looked back again.

Nice bod!

Clockwise naturally (I'm happy with that), but if I concentrate and engage a particular mode of thinking I can turn her the other way.

Other half (as I expected) said anticlockwise. He can only turn her if I'm nearby. Conversely I can turn her to anticlockwise more easily if he's within six feet.

I always did think his brain interfered with mine!

Set me thinking of Flanders and Swann's tragic Misalliance:

       The fragrant honeysuckle spirals clockwise to the sun,
        And many other creepers do the same.
        But some climb anti-clockwise, the bindweed does, for one,
        Or Convolvulus, to give her proper name.
        
        Rooted on either side a door, one of each species grew,
        And raced towards the window-ledge above.
        Each corkscrewed to the lintel in the only way it knew,
        Where they stopped, touched tendrils, smiled, and fell in love
        
        Said the right-handed honeysuckle to the left-handed bindweed,
        "Oh, let us get married, if our parents don't mind, we'd
        Be loving and inseparable, inextricably entwined, we'd
        Live happily ever after" said the honeysuckle to the bindweed.
        
        To the honeysuckle's parents it came as a shock.
        "The bindweeds," they cried, "are inferior stock!
        They're uncultivated, of breeding bereft,
        We twine to the right and they twine to the left."
        
        Said the anti-clockwise bindweed to the clockwise honeysuckle,
        "We'd better start saving, many a mickle macks a muckle,
        Then run away for a honeymoon and hope that our luck'll
        Take a turn for the better"
       said the bindweed to the honeysuckle.
        
        A bee who was passing remarked to them then,
        "I've said it before and I'll say it again,
        Consider your offshoots, if offshoots there be,
        They'll never receive any blessing from me".
        
        "Poor little sucker, how will it learn,
        When it is climbing, which way to turn?
        Right, left, what a disgrace,
        Or it may go straight up and fall flat on its face!"
        
        Said the right-hand-thread honeysuckle
       to the left-hand-thread bindweed                              
        "It seems they're against us, all fate has combined.
        Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Colombine,
        Thou art lost and gone forever, we shall never intertwine".
        
        Together, they found them, the very next day,
        They had pulled up their roots and just shrivelled away.
        Deprived of that freedom for which we must fight,
        To veer to the left or to veer to the right!

I primarily see it as anti-clockwise, but I can see it clockwise too. What it comes down to for me is that I prefer seeing her as setting her right foot down rather than picking it up. I think it's because the toes of her left foot would be farther to the left (the outside) if she were pushing into a clockwise turn. The toes are to the right (inside) because the right foot is moving in front of them to the left and the left foot was planted before the turn.

Clockwise. When I looked away and started reading the text to the left of the image, she briefly seemed to be turning counter-clockwise. Then, I blinked, and clockwaise again. And I can't seem to get her going the other way. Hard think, make brain hurt. Neat.

first right then left then any direction I willed.

Advanced observers in the 4th dimension should be able to see her far side before it is turned directly to the viewer.

While doing this exercise I solved the space travel problem of bone density loss and muscle mass loss. All you need do is put the weightless person in a chair that vibrated sufficiently to signal the cells to grow more bone and build more muscle. The vibration is not one single frequency nor does it need to be any stronger than a Lazy boy recliner in massage mode.

This is truely a great application of a discovery to manned space exploration.

But I'm not tellin anybody unless you do.
