Are You a Left-Brain or Right-Brain Thinker? This Image Can Tell You
The Blaze ^ | 11 August, 2013 | Mike Opelka

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.)

Her whole body is going clockwise.

Clockwise relative to what?

If you really try, you can make her top half spin RIGHT and her bottom half spin left.

What the heck is wrong with her foot? Keeps bouncing up and down. That bothers me so I can’t tell which way she is spinning.

She has feet?
