Hello!
In the past few days I've been very excited about one motion image, which you can see on a website. There's a monochrome women silhouette rotating in front of gray background. According to that website, people who see it rotating clockwise think more with right brain and vice versa.

For several days I could only see it clockwise, until yesterday. I turned my head left and blurred my eyes and after some time I indeed started to see it turning anti-clockwise.
Very interesting in my opinion.
Edit:
I also played the gif file backwards and I still saw it rotating clockwise. | |

same here. i'm definitely stronger with my left hand. i used to be more ambidextrous but I can't write with my left hand anymore. i bat (switch hit i guess), golf, shoot pool, drink and eat with both hands almost equally well though. it's weird.

I just don't see how someone could spin clockwise with their feet like that? Is that my "logic" kicking in... ?? next test please?

Hey, play it also backwards using some gif player or quicktime or something and you won't see the difference actually.

apparently the dancer is actually changing direction and it is telling you absolutely nothing whatsoever of whether you are right or left brained!

Shouldn't the fact that most people are right handed and right legged influence their direction of spin, and so influence your perception? If you see someone kicking a football in a silhouette, you'd be mostly correct to interpret it as them kicking with their right leg. Same applies here. I'd wager this preconception about how people move is just as likely to influence the direction of spin as some split-brain theory. It'd be more interesting if the subject was a randomly shaped rotating blob instead of gravity defying boobies with nipples.

can't make it go counter-clockwise. tried.
the following brained qualities are match me:
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
Xdetail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
Xknows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
Xpresent and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
Ximpetuous
Xrisk taking
funny i can both 'comprehend' and 'get it' even tho one is left-brained and the other right...

Interesting idea. But it seems to be contradicted by the website's claim that most people see the figure rotating anti-clockwise. If the extended foot was usually interpreted as the right foot (because the figure is instinctively assumed to be right-handed) most people would see the figure rotating clockwise instead.
