I'm finding this hypnotic

Here's a right brain, left brain test. See which way the dancer is turning, clockwise or counterclockwise. The article lists what that means.

I've stared at it so much, I find I can switch directions which is really freaky. Not sure what that means though....

Update: Whig of Cannablog has another test for what American accent you have. I rated Neutral. I blame my parents.

Clockwise.

Now I've reversed it.

The trick is to focus on just the lower foot and that one can be made to seem either way very easily. Then pull up to see the rest of the image and spin it whichever way you want.

A nice exercise for switching from one hemisphere to the other, eh?

Is it weird that I think she's prettier rotating clockwise? :)

Hmm... I will check the list to see if this means you need to be locked up or not...

I may be weird, but I'm not dangerous to myself or anyone else, if that helps.

Lol! I blogwhored this at Eschaton and some people were irritated by it, declaring that it wasn't really scientific, etc.

I have no idea how scientific it is (the list on right brain left brain qualities is on the link), I just find it fascinating to play with my vision that way. The same thing happens when you stare at a ceiling or corner and can have it be concave or convex because of the lighting.

It must have been fun to create such a brain test.
