It's all in your head

Here's a nifty article:



Look at the spinning girl. Apparently, people can see her spin clockwise or counterclockwise. Which way do you see her spin? I first saw her spin clockwise, but if I stare at it for awhile, it switches.

Pretty sweet. And to think that I found this through an email forward!

  2. I always see it as one way and then the other and then back to the first and so on. I wish my brain could jsut settle. >.<

  3. I see it going counter clockwise then clockwise and then it repeats the cycle. Looking at the list I would have to say that I'm left brained however, there are a few traits on the right brained side which I think are also appropriate.
