LEFT AND RIGHT There is much ado about the left and the right side of the brain. Which type are you? At first I only saw a clockwise turn. What do you see? When I concentrated on the lower legs and moved my eyes left and right, I suddenly saw the figure moving anti-clockwise. I first thought this was a hoax and that the clip changed direction every now and then. But it isn't a hoax. I could reproduce the change at will. Even quite fast after half a turn. Does this prove that we are not bound to use only one side of our brain? But it does get funnier. Look here. Apparently Mark sees something quite different from what I see. If I am not misinterpreting his words he sees both figures turning clockwise. I see the left one turning clockwise and at the same time the right figure turning anti-clockwise (quite harmoniously like two interlocking wheels of a clockwork), but I can change that too, so that they both shift in the other direction. And it seems this pattern of one clockwise-other anti-clockwise is fixed, both change direction at the same time. Then it becomes curiouser and curiouser. Originally I saw the above blogpost on my newsaggregator, which showed the pictures one above the other. There I saw the figures moving either clockwise or anti-clockwise. They changed direction quite easily, maybe because I had to move my eyes up and down. Sometimes both moved clockwise, sometimes anti-clockwise, sometimes each in a different direction. So what about this, eh? My conclusion: you can train your left and right side of the brain equally. 12:20:34 PM
