Roger Sperry won the Nobel Prize in 1981 for his work on what is now commonly known as right brain-left brain thinking. Sperry theorized that some very specific activities were controlled by one side of the human brain or the other — for example, the right side controlled creative tasks, while the left side was where logic, language and reasoning lived.
People were fascinated by the idea, and in the three decades since, bookstores, television, the Internet and college psychology classes everywhere have been filled with endless discussions of the differences between right-brain, left-brain, and whole-brain thinkers.
(Ironically, Sperry’s Nobel prize, like his theory, was also split: two Harvard doctors were also recognized that year in the same medicine and physiology category for their discoveries in visual system processing.)

The conclusion is invalid. Going from perception of the way it is spinning to a solemn pronouncement on whether some one is a right brain or a left brain thinker is not warranted.
There is ONE brain. If one chooses to analyze it, there are two hemispheres, interconnected. In the normal brain they work together. In a very small number of people, the connection between the two has been severed, and the hemispheres do not communicate. That is not at all the normal situation.
The missing word is ‘dominant.’ One mode of thinking may dominate the other in an individual, but in normal people, both function.
Yeah, she changes up on me too. I think that makes us superior.
She spins in both directions but always on her left foot. She changes direction at random intervals but mostly counter-clockwise and still on her left foot.
I knew it! Given a subject without headlights, it’s always spinning to the right!! :)
Thanks. Mostly clock-wise for me.
She’s standing still for me.
What does that mean?
Especially if you stare at the breasts, she’s going clockwise. Men are at a significant disadvantage here :)
OK ... right after I posted that, she started changing direction. What’s up with that?
She’s spinning to the right and the room is a bit chilly.
How is changing directions for something like this even possible to do with just your mind?
Sometimes I am Dyslexic. She is a bit out of focus which helps also.
First she spun clockwise then I looked away and looked back and she was spinning counter-clockwise. I’m so confused....
If I blink and different speeds (then stop) I can get her to spin either way. I think it is more of a motion trick. Once your brain locks into a direction it keeps following it, if you disturb your focus it can switch randomly.
She’s a member of the Left-Brain/Gray/Bidirectional/Transcendered Community ...
It is difficult to see her spinning counter-clockwise, but with much effort I have seen it.
ROFL!
Depends on how long you watch it. The thing is no matter which direction she spins, she stays on her left foot. The image on The Blaze, I counted thirty four clockwise before she changed direction, four counter, then back. You would have to watch that thing a long time to figure out which way she spins the most. So I’m just gonna say that she stays on her left foot and that’s that.
I see head over heals.
I’m lower brained.
I have been reading this site way too long!
