Re: Right brain v. Left brain test - spinning dancer
I first saw her going counter clock wise but once i got her to go clockwise, I can't get her to go back to counter.
** I can do it both ways at will now, I guess cause I first saw it counter, that is my default? ** I thought I read soewhere that the whole left brain v right brain was bunk?

[/ QUOTE ] The popular conception of left brain-right brain differences is oversimplified, and the self-help stuff like 'get in tough with your right brain' is bunk. But the two hemispheres are specialized and there's an element of truth to a lot of what you hear about it.

AFAICT what you see depends on where your visual system places the light source.

Try to picture the shadow like it was a reflection and you were lookin at the dancer through a pane of glass from underneath or something. It took my coworkers like 5 minutes to understand how they could see it both ways. lol @ the some of the reasoning offered up in this thread. At least no one suggested looking at it during odd or even numbered minutes.
