    wOw I checked up on it again and I can make it change direction on the drop of a hat. I just look at the out streached leg and imagine it sweeping to the left and then to the right. I can even stop it before it makes a full rotation. I wonder if I could make it stand still.:?:

    Woah just say in your head left brain and feel the sensation of having a left brain. Then say right brain and imagine that sensation. I swear this is all it takes for it to change direction for me. That is the raddest thing ever.

    Another connection I regularly make is math and language...they are like the same to me. I think if you alternate between the two in your thinking and then look at the picture it will change. As well as the techniques {{d*@*b*}} mentioned

    I use the shadow to switch directions, by focusing on the shadow foot and imagining it spinning one way or the other. I dissected the image and it's function in my optical centers, an interesting little illusion this one.

    Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier just to be left or right brain dominant. My urge for balance results from having dominant characteristics from both sides.

    It's probably easier to be both.

    You think so? Can you elaborate as to why if you do not mind

    I think this may be an optical illusion, but its really cool. I found that if you stare at the stationary leg in the middle, its really easy to flip it. Its strange though, I remember taking a test when I was in elementary school I took a test on a computer program that would ask you multiple choice questions about shapes, colors, numbers, and a variety of other things. And then give you a an idea of if your are left/right brained, my mom was on the right, and my dad was on the left, I was in right in the middle. So maybe that's why I can flip it?

    well if you use one half your not as mentally flexible. I think I am good at transfering logical ideas into creative ones. I always got horrible grades in math but I had one dedicated teacher who understood me and she realized that I think about math differently and that I am actually talented at it in a different way. I am not good at memorizing theorums and equations but I am good at analizing them and once I analize them I will never forget them. I have to discover there importance creatively before I can see how they are important. Many of the best artists are good at translating from left to right brain as well as many scientists. I believe flexability is more important to information processing than a one track way of thinking. I believe this applies to most areas of life.

    I also tended to be 100% right on math tests but I would never be able to finish them in the allotted time so I usually got a 50% grade. That is because I hated reading the math books but with my basic knowledge a paper and pen I could figure out most of what is taught in math class. I always loathed using calculators. I don't trust them.

    I have that people find it strange that I am left handed but play guitar right handed, it just feels natural to me. Am I ambidextrious for that? Lol a question of obvious stating lol.

    I always made excellent grades in math. Or if I didn't it was because I was like "Eff that!" to BS homework assignments (woops.). I'm actually really good at math, and really quick, but I just can't get this thing to click. I get caught up in imagining my body is her body and then I feel myself moving to the right like she is. And I can't get out of that.

    I love this! Seeing the attributes to a right brain and left brain...I feel that I am 100% right brained but I'm like 75% left brained. I KNOW that doesn't logically make sense, although I do feel like in comparison to most, I have access to more brain, making me able to use more than "100%" being most people's limit. It's like I have COMPLETE access to both sides, but I just live in my right brain, and enjoy it there..you are always using your right brain while in your alpha state of mind. When I looked at the graphic...I thought it was bull because it was going clockwise mostly..but every 10 seconds it would go counter clockwise for an approximate 2 second span, and then change back, and so on. When I think about it hard, it goes counter clockwise. And reading helps too.

    It's weird, because I too can write with both hands but prefer right..i am left footed..i could probably play guitar better with a lefty..and when I cover one of my eyes, it's easiest to see when I cover my right rather than my left, making the left dominant. So I'm just discovering that I should have probably been left handed lol. But..I can draw anything and I use my right. UGH!

    also... I'm very very very good at math. I'm very good at science too and the logic of things, although philosophy, creating, and spirituality is my specialty. I got 90s-100s in math during elementary school when they allowed me to do things my way, but once I got to high school...it's all fucked. I CANNOT do math the way they want me to. I'm in grade 12 and still haven't passed my grade 9 math. Too....boring. The thing is, I can create my own equations to things without thinking about numbers. I can do those looong equations in my own invented way as a shortcut. Teachers think I'm a God literally..or the female Einstein lol but unfortunately they can't technically count it as correct, because you gotta follow the system. What do you guys think this means? : I can read words fine..but my memory is zip so I cant read novels I don't fully enjoy. I've only read one full book in my life and it was an autobiography of Motley Crue; I read it 4 times. Considering all this, as weird as it is, I have always been the best speller and have the best grammar in my area (although I don't always use all my grammar knowledge and huge vocab due to the fact that the point can be seen without doing so). How is this possible if I never read? Maybe it has to do with the fact that when I'm in a lesson or am watching an informative tv show, it really really REALLY seems as though I already knew it all, I just needed to be reminded.

    I apologize for all this response...I am just really interested in this!! People always think I'm a dumb ass stoner when they meet me because I'm so laid back and don't see much use to over thinking at times unneeded...but as soon as I have something intellectual to discuss..they look at me like I've just got possessed by some mad genius. I actually do think I may have multiple personality disorder though....because i fight in my head almost always lol. ....Ugh, well I guess this explains why I can never label those damn diagrams in science class >>> Knows object name VS. Knows object function. But wait, that also boggles me...because I have this totally wack knack for knowing every damn celebrity's name, although I don't like and don't watch tv all that much.

    Ahhh you dudes are going to kill me. lol... I have a question. What is the science behind the fact that I can literally aim anything anywhere i want to? I honestly DO NOT have to think or focus when I throw something; all that's needed is my eyes to look at my destination for the object thrown for like a millisecond. I can throw a small pebble into a tiny crack in the ground no problem from like 3 meters away. WEIRD. Maybe this has to do with my crazed intuition.

    Try this one on for size.
    Does this mean that because I am left handed I may see the world totally different from all the right handers.
    Is this why in history the left handed people were called evil and demons and had their left hand cut off or the person was killed. Or left as a infant to starve by the people?

    Think about america it is has about a 2% of its population as left handers there has to be a reason for this.
    Our hands are very important to us but it is strange that almost the whole world is only using the right hand and us left handed people were condoned and thrown out hmmm.

    I believe it is all about control see right handed people or people that think with the left brain lobe are logical thinkers and robotic in many situations which is good in many situations.

    Us left handers are all over the place and hard to control. We all do things differently and so forth I cant explain it.

    That's interesting about the 2%. At my school, at least in the visual arts department (arts high school), it seemed like 35-40% were lefties.

    And I just want to add that even though you use one hand, it doesn't necessarily mean that all your brain power is in the opposite lobe. I'm right handed, but I can't for the life of me see how that dancer girl is turning anti-clockwise.

    I'm pretty sure the reason why most people in your art school were lefties because left handers use the right side of their brain but a lot of people are grown into conformity to use their right. Most drawers who use their right hand are capable to use their left almost the same in any activity

    Left handed people are natural artist is most likely the reason why your art class is like that.
    I bet most of the left handed people in your school are right there in that class. I am just guessing though
