Which Way is She Spinning:

OK - watch her - is she spinning clockwise or counterclockwise to you?

If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain. If you see it her tuning the other way, you are using left brain. Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN.

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides or hemispheres of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

The Left Brain is:
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts

The Right Brain is:
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes

Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain activities. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy.
Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

If you look away, she may switch from one direction to the other.

If you look at her feet or relax and look at the floor where the reflection shows, she might switch direction!

BTW, I'm a left brain person.

She started out counterclockwise, then when I started to read (looked away) she switched! Fickle lady!

When I first saw your subject line, I thought you were talking about the new storm heading into the Gulf. Quit messing with my brain, Beth! Both sides!

That is sooooo cool. The first time I glanced, she was turning counterclockwise, I looked back, she was spinning the other way ... then I turned her around.

Waaaay cool. LOL!

Remember - I'm a night person - and my most creative at night - now I'm right-brained LOLOL - and this IS the time of day I do creative work. Funny - but maybe there is something to this.

Sorry, Liz, couldn't help it :)

When I looked at her on Liz's computer she was spinning clockwise. And she stayed that way. Now I'm home,.... and have had two pieces of chocolate fudge,.... and she's going both ways,... haha...not sure what that says about me or chocolate fudge,... :lol:

I guess at the moment right now my brain isn't functioning at all lol - she's going one way, then the other, and back and forth - which she never did before when I looked. Yep, I am tired, it's been a hard weekend - and it must be reflecting in my looking at her - my brain can't decide :)
