Are You a Left-Brain or Right-Brain Thinker? This Image Can Tell You

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, Sperrys 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.)

Wow that’s wild, if you look at it using your peripheral vision and imagine it turning in the other direction, it does! At least for me.

She was spinning to the left until I read the first line then she changed directions?

Yeah. I can see her spinning either way I want to or even wobbling back and forth.
By the way, does anybody know her phone number?

Spinning clockwise, of course.
This isn’t a trick question.

I looked at the image for 10 minutes. To my mind, she only rotates counter-clockwise. What’s the matter with me?!?!?

Started out going right, then changed after 30 seconds and changed back and forth after that. I’m not surprised. I have plenty of development on both sides of my brain.
To: Errant
She’s spinning clockwise. I have NO idea if that is left or right.
To: Errant
Damn she's built...................................................................
Now what was that question :)

She goes counterclockwise for a few seconds and then switches back...and then back again.
What does that mean?

How is changing directions for something like this even possible to do with just your mind?

If you get her right on the edge of your peripheral vision,you can see her change direction.
