The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-clockwise?
http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5675247,00.gif
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it. (Took me quite a while!)
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
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
No doubt, this cute little dancer is turning me on...

I saw her turning clockwise first, but now I can see it turn both way. It's simple: when she's turning clockwise, her right arm is raised (at least, your brain analyses it this way). Try to imagine the other arm raised. *Shazam*! You'll see the dancer spin the other way!
I've received this animation in an e-mail a few days ago, which said that if you could see the two kind of rotations, you have an IQ of minimum 160... I don't believe it though, mostly because a) I don't believe in IQs b)I have no idea how I could have such an IQ c) In my small experience, I learned that things aren't always what they appear with women! ;-P
Cheers

The default for me is clockwise, but sometimes, if I stare at her hard enough, she changes to counter clockwise.
I dont know what this says about my brain, but I find it very cool.

she turns one way then the other at regular intervals with zero input from me as to whether i'm trying to see her dance one way or the other. i think it's just a hoax!

See www.theness.com, Neurologia blog for Oct. 11 for explanation of whether the dancer optical illusion is a valid right brain/left brain test....

To me, the image started off spinning clockwise for first few spins, then counter-clockwise for a few, then she appears to follow the way I want - for as many spins! If I do not seek a specific spin, the default becomes like a woman facing me; she goes partial clockwise (from one end to other) and then partial counter-clockwise (from the other end back to the start) - as if she is waiting to be led.
Interestingly, when I open the page, or look away and then look back at the screen, the silhouette always starts off with a clockwise spin.
This is fascinating. Is this available for download as video, movie or something to a device (such as iPhone, iPod, etc.)? Would love to add this to my library. Thanks for this and any leads.

...a picture; right click on it, save it to your hd. I suppose you can then move it to your iPod. Not too familiar with mobile phones though, but I guess you just need to proceed like you do when you want to transfer pics from your computer to your phone.
Cheers.

At first I saw it going clockwise but as you said I tried to get it to change direction. Now I see it counter..
This is cool stuff.
Here is something else to try, if you are ever working on something that is getting nowhere and you need a new idea, take two pencils (one in each hand) and start to write. Free write about your idea and force yourself to alternate hands. It may take a minute or two but the ideas will start to flow.
Just for fun.
Thanks for the interesting post.
