Here is a left brain/right brain test, and I honestly cant see how anyone can see this moving counter clock wise. I dont think there are too many left brain people here sence we are LDers, but I would realy like to know if anyone can see it moving counter clock wise. Maybie Ill try thinking of a math problem while watching it to see if it changes.

I can see it clearly moving in both directions, whether I want to: clockwise or against clock. I don’t think this optical illusion has anything to do with being left or right brained.
I can’t see it going clockwise… I tried, but gave up… because it was annoying me 
Anti clockwise all the way. 
for me clockwise, and no matter how much I tried, I can’t get it to go anti-clockwise.
my husband, on the other hand, insisted it was going anti-clockwise 
I’ve seen this before and I remember seeing it going both ways. Like, it started out for me with it spinning in one direction, but then somewhere along the line i looked away for a second and all of a sudden it was going in the other, and i couldn’t get it to go back to how it was before!
This time it started out clockwise, but then for a while i’d just see it wobble (and maybe see it for what it really was, all the while being confused) and then it’d turn counter-clockwise. Hemisphereically speaking, I already knew i was pretty close to balanced.
lemme look some more, and report:
wow, i must be totally balanced right now. it wouldn’t take a single full rotation in either direction; first it would go halfway around clockwise, but then once the legs intersected it was suddenly counterclockwise, and sometimes it would just wobble back and forth.
maybe this has something to do with me trying jal neti for the first time this morning. 
it clears out the sinuses, makes breathing even between the two nostrils, leading to more hemispherical balance. 
I finaly got it to switch direction. It helps to pause it, then start it again. This is so trippy.
Ha! I got it, it was hard to change the direction from beginning, and it turned CCW, then I found a way to switch the direction and finally saw it turn clockwise first I needed to pause, now I cold do it without pausing 
thanks for showing this
This doesn’t really decide what dominant hemisphere of the brain you use.
Yeah, i forgot to mention that when i took a look at it for a third time today, i realized that it never spun completely while I was fixated on the legs and feet; when i looked at the upper body, however, it would keep spinning around in one direction, starting with clockwise, but I could get it to change pretty easily by glancing at the feet and lookin’ back up.
then again, Mew151 might be right anyway.

I have proof!
A person isn’t Right Vs Left brained. The brain is a very, very complex machine, a super computer if you will, and the widely known assumption of people being either right brain oriented or left brain oriented comes mainly from the current lack of knowledge in the scientific community regarding the brain. Real thorough research into the brain is just at the beginning stages.
We all use both the right and the left hemisphere, some use one more than the other. But the brain has lots and lots of other parts and each activity you engage in activates the brain in a completely different manner. The key is to use the brain coherently where all the areas are working harmoniously. Whole brain thinking…
thank you kava for the dancer , I wasn’t familiar with it.
And thank you eyelids for hawkeen. I love it!
cheers everyone
yes , Ariel I love it too!
right on about the left / right “brain”
they are simply making a model so they can understand some patterns they notice
left meaning logical
and right meaning creative, in the moment, and prone to fanciful artistic things
i suppose left / right are similar to zodiac signs but, more accepted as “real” by consensus reality
Darn it I still can’t make it change direction!!! sobs
Same here. 
Like some others said, if you focus hard on the foot to switch direction it will switch direction
And eyelids, I liked the link you posted here, very creative
Gah… I keep on trying and trying… but I can’t do it!!! 
I can’t make her go clockwise!!
but Tundra, she is going clockwise!
I have the same difficulty as you, but then with getting it to go anti-clockwise. I managed to get it when concentrating at the feet, it would go anti-clockwise for a few seconds, then it kept switching real fast between anti clockwise and clockwise, and then it went clockwise again and refused to go anti-clockwise
for me it was anti-clockwise first, then the other way around. but i think the first way you see it is the one that determines which side you are. or maybe it has nothing to do with left/right side of brain.
/me sobs
I shall not give up darn it!!! I tried all that looking at her foot thing, and imagining she’s spinning on the other leg (but shes noooooot! 
), but alas, nothing seems to work… darn!
