Re: Are You Left-Brained or Right?
#2Left brain here baby. But then I already knew that. Maybe I can get somebody at MIT to extract my right hemisphere for me and then sell it on e-bay for a profit, since clearly, I have no use for it.

#3According to this article:

This news article, like many others, ignores the true source of this optical illusion and instead claims it is a quick test to see if you use more of your right brain or left brain. This is utter nonsense, but the “right-brain/left brain” thing is in the public consciousness and won’t be going away anytime soon. Sure, we have two hemispheres that operate fine independently and have different abilities, but they are massively interconnected and work together as a seamless whole (providing you have never had surgery to cut your corpus callosum).
...
Further, how your visual cortex constructs this optical illusion says nothing about your hemispheric dominance, and is absolutely not a quick personality profile.

#4From its Wikipedia article:
"The illusion has been incorrectly[3] identified as a scientific personality test that supposedly reveals which hemisphere of the brain is dominant in the observer. Under this unproven interpretation, it has been popularly called the Right Brain–Left Brain test,[4] and was widely circulated on the Internet during late 2007 to early 2008."

It actually depends on where you initially look at the image. I first focused on the torso and saw clockwise, and then focused on the extended foot and saw counter-clockwise.
Edit: Hmm, I guess it's a test of if you're a breast man or a leg man.

Totally nothing to do with the hemispheres - nonetheless, really frustrating that I can't seem to control which way I see her 'spinning' - that all happens behind the scenes in my head. ah!

#8Apparently I use my right brain. Couldn't make her change direction.
Then I looked over to the right hand side of the page and noticed out of corner of my eye she was now turning counter-clockwise, so now I was using my left brain.
Now I can't make her turn the other way.
I used both sides of my brain and used them together to decide that this test is bullshit.

Reminds me of a handset project I once worked on. We had two baseband chipsets (with associated cpu) in one mobile phone. The software that sent commands between the two was called BundleOfNerves. Fun times :)
