| RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling- yeah... "big picture" oriented- usually imagination rules- um, sometimes, I guess symbols and images- sure...? present and future- yeah absolutely philosophy & religion- not even a little bit can "get it" (i.e. meaning) - usually really quick... a gift I cherish believes- um, in what?  appreciates- usually spatial perception- quite good too- its why I went into engineering actually knows object function- sure fantasy based- ... does that mean I am crazy?? presents possibilities- sure impetuous-... I don't think so... risk taking- I am a 20 year old male, of course I take risks- I'm invincible!!

| OK... so does that mean I'm both-brain sided? b/c I managed to make see her turn both ways. First anti-clockwise... then like 30 seconds later, I saw her turn clock-wise... wasn't too hard. EDIT: hehe, I made her do a modified/weird version of the twist.. she turned anti-clockwise in 180 degrees, then I made her turn 180 going clockwise... it's very fun! hehehe.... booyah!

| what worked for me firebug is watching her foot in the center and try to see it going the other way. E-man do you know how you got her to change directions ?????? was there a certain point on her body that you focused on ?????? |

| I agree...it seemed as though focusing on her foot may have somehow made her go the other direction. Heck, I dunno. To me it looks as though she starts one way, and then the thing makes her turn the other way automatically after a seemingly random amount of time. Is it not flip-flopping back and forth like this on its own? Are we truly 'changing' the direction in our minds, or is that what is actually happening with the 'image program' or whatever is making that dancer spin in the first place?!? For me she started out clockwise, but then went counter-clockwise. I was then able to have her 'magically' switch back and forth a few times---still not sure if it's all in my brain or a part of the 'image program' or whatever, lol.  BV

| Lol. She turns where I want her to turn when I want her to turn, so yes, our mind makes her turn.... unless it's a friggin mind reader! I don't focus on anything. At first, I just glanced away, then glanced back and she turned. And I kept doing this till I got the hang of it. Now I don't really turn away, but I focus half on her, and half on the little article, so I still see her, but my focus isn't on her... so she turns when I want her to turn. You've just gotta train your mind!! It took me all of 5 minutes to be able to do it. Once you get the hang of it, she'll dance gracefully for you whichever way you want her to dance!  |

| It happened to me too. When I looked away, she started turning in the opposite direction. Then, when I looked away again, she turned back the other way. I got dizzy, so I stopped. It's all about your brain filling in what is not really there. Your brain expects to see it spinning, so it chooses a direction. Obviously, nothing is actually turning in the image, but your brain makes it seem like it is. |
