Right Brain vs. Left Brain




Stumbled upon this today from some pips from http://yoopee.multiply.com.

Supposedly, if you see the girl spinning clockwise, your right brain works more than your left brain and if you see the girl spinning counter-clockwise, your left brain works more. And if you see the girl spinning in both directions (not at the same time... um... you can see the girl spinning in a certain direction and then SWITCH to the other direction, that is), you're a genius (probably not genius genius but ha!-i-got-it-and i'm-fucking-awesome genius). I was able to see the girl spinning clockwise at first and honestly it took me some time to figure out how to see the girl turning in the other direction (I HAVE TO SEE IT SWITCH, GODDEMMIT! AAARGH! oh, right... there it goes... wooohoo! I'm a GENIUS!!!).

So, how do you see the girl, kids? Just post your comment here.

Tell me:
  • the initial direction of the spin
  • how did you manage to make it switch
  • do you think it's cool or legit?
  • BONUS: provide a proof that this is for real or fake

Game on! Ü


some kinda useless findings about how the brain works:

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

a lot of people has been been saying that it's fake but no one's really sure. my bro and i tried to look at the spinning girl at the same time and we saw the girl spin: me clockwise, him counterclockwise. now, explain that! Ü
Posted by viv @ 07/06/2008 12:47 AM PDT
haha it's fake, coz at first the girl twirls with her left foot (clockwise) for 2 sets, then she turns with her right foot (anti-clockwise) for 2 sets. LOL! but i won't spoil it for you... woohoo i saw her spinning in both directions! i must be genius huh? hehehe ;)
