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.)

LMAO!...You and me both!
She has to be getting tired.
Now, she uses too much hairspray. Her ponytail betrays that in two ways.
Finally,yes, she seems to be a little bit chilly.
>> “Engineering cannot be put to immoral purpose, lol?” <<
Strawman, and logical fallacy!
That’s what I’m seeing too!
That worked, Errant! She changed direction for a few seconds, then changed back to the original direction!
Cool, you seem to be pretty dominant - are you left brain or right brain?
Ok so I’ve had a few drinks since the last I posted and now she spins predominately the other direction - that’s interesting - at least to me...
Interesting results!
Doesn’t work. Just keeps rotating clockwise. I’m one of those very limited brain type of people that cannot see the picture in those pages of designs. Sort of an idiot mini savant, emphasis on “idiot”.
I can learn to play instruments myself, make up tunes, taught myself to read by age 4, write poetry, a couple more things along those lines, and that’s about the end of it....I still have to recite part of the alphabet to see whether K or L is first...
She was anti-clockwise at first, by blurring my vision for a moment I was able to switch to clockwise, looking away for a few seconds and then back made her anti-clockwise again.
That’s suppose to mean you’re a left-brain thinker... Good at logic, language, and reasoning. We right-brains like to color - usually outside the lines.
And I still have trouble working out which is left and which is right, and can’t find my way back from the shops to my car without a map.
... and yours.
She’s spinning clockwise...gotta like little spinners
I took a test years ago that showed me to be left brained. I was very disappointed because right-brained people were (according to the book the test was in) the creative, intuitive, artistic people, while left-brained people sounded rather rigid, staid, and boring. At least the book made it seem that way! :-)
I'm of the opinion that people are way to complex, dynamic in their knowledge and experience, and too tugged by demons and angels for there to ever be enough boxes to put us all in (figuratively speaking). :-)
From your link: frequent left-right confusion. It appears, however, to be linked to brain lateralization — the idea that the right and left halves of the brain’s cerebral cortex control different functions. ... “In 2009, British scientists found that those whose hearing was more biased toward one ear over another, a sign of asymmetry, were more likely to display confusion.”
well, that explains it. I also have a slight midrange hearing loss in right ear. Or is it the left? LOL
Some people’s vision might limit their ability to see the illusion, either that or they didn’t watch it long enough.
That is very true. Also, the ability to put the images together in the brain may have something to do with it. There are vision tests that can show if you have this problem. It’s the one where you tell the tester which number the arrow is pointing at on the horizontal test, if you’ve ever taken one at the DMV, etc.
