Brain test!

*I promise this is NOT a picture where there will come up a screaming dead human!*

Study this picture: http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5687820,00.gif

If the woman on the picture is spinning clockwise or counterclockwise at first sight?
Depending on which direction she's spinning will decide which of you brain half is the strongest.

If you see the woman spinning counterclockwise:

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



Clockwise:
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

Now to the challenge can you get her to spin at both directions? For me she first spinned clockwise but after some minutes I got her to spin counterclockwise.

that's very cool, but i think i might be pretty much equal brained (with a slight bias to the left) i saw her turning counterclockwise, then after really looking at it for a while, it was like she slowed down and bam! clockwise... then i tried to make it go back to counterclockwise and after a while i was about to quit until bam!! counter again.

now that i've had a little bit of practice, i can change her direction

It is what you see at the first apperance. So if it was counterclockwise than your left brain half is you dominant. It changed for me to after some time, but I can't control it yet.

i can change her direction by the circle her foot makes. look at it and concentrate because you "know" the foot is going around the other way, then it will pop

Clockwise for 5 secs then anti clock... the only way I can get her to turn the other way is to look away for a moment but after a few secs she reverses again....wierd :-/

I was watching her at first spin counter clock wise, then I swear she flipped me off!

Seriously though, I believe its the pic that changes direction not your prospective.
With that in mind, all that its proving is that you have some brain function.

it's not the pic that changes, it is the way your mind renders the image and attempts to give it depth that changes


(it is not the spoon that bends, only your mind)

EDIT:: Woah! I was looking at it again, and while trying to make it change direction, something went wrong and while her legs were spinning one way, the rest of her body was still spinning the other way. she was twisting at the waist!!!!

Heres something to play with.
Go to http://www.online-image-editor.com/index.cfm
upload the gif, then select from the menu EDIT, under EDIT select Gif Only then Split Into Frames, Let it load all 34 frames and take a look, what do you see?
Kinda neat to see how it was made.

I couldn't make it move. Damn, I'm a dead old fart :
Oh well, I wouldn't know what to do if she came to me on my laptop computer anyway.

All I know is it's cold in there.

I saw it as clockwise first, then after looking at her feet for about 1 second, I imagined how it would look like if she went counter clockwise, then... I saw her going counter clockwise.

huh? All I could see is this creepy guy in hot pink with a wickedlasers bag that Timelord seems to have burned into my retina...

That worked for me too... She wants to go CC but now I can change her directions at will.

:-? that is weird!! it took me abit of time, but i can control her now! that is awesome, but weird!

I'm so counter clockwise it's unbelievable. Infact, Im even counter clockwise using the gif frame thingy that high octane posted.

I stared for ages but it became EVEN MORE counter bahhhhh  :-/ looks like the left part of my brain is totally dominating.....poor right side lol  

lol well atleast they work! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
