There is no such thing as “left-brained” and “right-brained” people unless an individual has half the brain surgically removed or inactivated by anesthetic. Both sides of the normal brain are always active, in interaction with each other, and participating in learning, memory, perception, imagination, and emotion. No normal human being thinks with one side of the brain at a time.

This is definitely not a program that switches her rotation direction at pre-set intervals! You can make her change direction ANYTIME YOU WANT!! I just submitted a post about it and tried it again – it works! Move your eyes just off of the picture so that she’s in your peripheral vision and unfocused and you can make her switch direction by “willing” her leg to go the other way. Then slowly move your eyes back to her. Than try it again and make her switch.

I’ve seen her just switch on me also when I didn’t want her to, and at other times seen her just spin clockwise even though I was trying to see how she could go counterclockwise. That’s how I figured out the technique above.

I also tried the advice of another post, which was to make her go counterclockwise by doing simple math in my mind, whether saying it out loud or not (12+13 = 25, 47-19 = 28, etc.) This works, but it takes longer than just looking at her on the peripheral. When I did the math experiment, and she was going counterclockwise, I also tried to make her go clockwise by doing right-brain dominant things (singing – didn’t work; imagining a rose or my Dad’s face – didn’t work; imagining a slice of pizza and trying to fit it back into the empty space it left when it was lifted from the whole pizza pie – VOILA!! THE PIZZA PIE THING WORKED and she switched back to clockwise for me). However, the fastest way to make her dance to your bidding is to do the peripheral eye thing I talked about in the first paragraph.

When I first got on to this page, she was going counterclockwise. Then, all of a sudden, she switched to clockwise and I couldn’t for the life of me get her to go back the other way.

Then, I figured out THE TRICK: Move your eyes off of her image so that you can’t really focus on her but she is in your peripheral vision. You should still be able to get an impression of her leg spinning around, but you can’t really make out details. Then tell yourself what direction her leg is spinning (whichever direction you want) and keep looking at her in your unfocused peripheral vision until you see the leg spinning in the desired direction. Then slowly move your eyes over to focus on her, and voila! – she’ll be going the way you wanted to see. Works like a charm.

If anyone is curious or collecting weird data, I am right-handed but apparently also right-brain dominant (I think I’m wired a bit strangely – but have both brain hemispheres working quite a bit. I write poetry, play classical piano and also have a Masters in Biostatistics.) My Dad was born a lefty and then was “beaten by the school system” (figuratively, not literally) into using his right hand for everything. To this day, he is ambidextrous but prefers the use of his left hand for everything except handwriting.

I have also tested out INFJ on the Meyers Briggs test .

I took a quiz on Left-Right Dominance and 20 left 10 right for me making my left side dominant. So obviously which side you use varies with the situation. Example: Spinning Lady.

There is nothing left in my right brain

but i can see her moving whichever way i want, so where do i stand
