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.)

I read the word “right” she goes right; I read the word “left” she goes left. Very interesting.
OK I’m split about 50/50 on her spin direction.
The thing is, I’m very strongly left-brain (at least I thought so)
Hmm.
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.
It means you’re obviously male, and attempting to fixate on something besides rotation.

Constantly spinning clockwise for me...I can’t even force seeing it the other way.
Clockwise from the top or bottom? Need a frame of reference. People saying left or right are even worse.
She must be cold.
Well, she is hawt!;-)
Yeah changing directions on me as well...
Close your right eye and stare at her ankle. She will flip the other way.
I only see it going counter-clockwise too, and it matches how I think.
Same for me too. I can pretty much make her spin either way.
Yup, sure thing, that's what I first noticed, LOLOL!
Maybe I need a beer...

Scrolling up or down, or opening both eyes will do it for me, or sometimes just thinking about it.
But what does it all mean? I stared long enough to see her changing direction. But only after reading the suggestion that she might be.
All my life, I’ve had to think twice about right and left. No kidding. When I was a kid I had a scar on my left hand, so that made it easy.
When I revisited the house I lived in when I was 6, the house I remembered being on the right was on the left side and vice versa. Etc.
My IQ is high, thanks for asking. But perhaps the most difficult thing I ever learned was typing. Again, a sort of left-right thingy.
That has to be a very skin-tight leotard.
You may have some dyslexia. Are you a guy or gal? I hear we use different parts of our brains in general?
