Now for more fun.



If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

I can usually get her to switch at will by quickly changing my view from her head to her feet.

It's hit or miss which way I see her spinning at first glance.

that's very cool

I cannot get her to spin counter-clockwise for my life.

25036. wabbit - 1/31/2009 1:18:12 AM

Ah, got it!

25037. iiibbb - 1/31/2009 1:42:40 AM

My new trick is to look at her with my peripheral vision until she switches on her own, and then recenter on her. I can't get her to switch if I look straight at her.

I spent my 30th birthday just outside of D.C. at Diva's house with several Moties --- Bubbaette and Niner among them.

I don't know whether 40 is going to bother me or not. It sort of bothers me now, but it's not as if you want to NOT turn 40, you know? ;->

25039. Ms. No - 1/31/2009 7:53:39 AM

whew! It took me forever to get the woman to turn counter-clockwise --- the periferal vision thing helped a lot. I don't know that I ever would've gotten it otherwise.

Hmmm....wabbit and I both had trouble with that. I'm wondering what the Wiz would see.

25040. judithathome - 1/31/2009 3:36:40 PM

I saw her counter at the very first...swift glance and then, looking back, clockwise. I can get her to change easily, after about three spins.

I must be messed up! Or indecisive!

25041. iiibbb - 1/31/2009 3:57:11 PM

Oh... that's a good trick J@h. I can get her to switch while looking directly at her now.

25042. Ms. No - 1/31/2009 4:45:45 PM

Jude,

I think it makes you versatile and adaptive!

25043. alistairConnor - 1/31/2009 9:16:58 PM

I think the problem, in my case, was that I couldn't take my eyes off her tits. Once I relaxed a bit, she came around.

25044. arkymalarky - 2/2/2009 2:21:08 AM

On dialup she's not moving at all!

25045. thoughtful - 2/2/2009 3:53:49 PM

I just look at her feet and ignore the rest of her....it's a matter of if you perceive her leg moving in front or in back of the other....once I get her feet to switch, the rest of her switches.

25046. iiibbb - 2/2/2009 4:35:07 PM

look harder

25047. iiibbb - 2/2/2009 4:35:47 PM

I'm telling Arky to look harder...


;)

25048. thoughtful - 2/2/2009 5:12:12 PM

actually, i think left right has nothing to do with it...i think it all has to do with when you first look at her...if her leg is to the left then she appears to go counterclockwise...if her leg is to the right then she appears to go clockwise...if i get the timing of her spin down and then close my eyes and open them when i know her leg is on the other side, she reverses.

25049. iiibbb - 2/2/2009 6:16:34 PM

I think it has something to do with hemispheres... 98% of the time she's going clockwise at first glance.

You're right about perception. If I consciously say to my self "forward-backward" for whichever way I want her to spin, I'll start to see her spin that way. I can do it completely on the fly now.

Brains are cool.

25050. magoseph - 2/2/2009 6:42:37 PM

She sways from one side to the other for me--never showing her backside--weird lady or weird me?

25051. arkymalarky - 2/2/2009 7:45:26 PM

I was trying to be funny. She moves counter on the blackberry, but on dialup she never got going. I could have looked longer, but I was afraid I'd miss a phone call.
