Which way does she turn?
I received this by e-mail:
------------------------------------------------------------
Which way does she turn?
If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.
See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres,
of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking.
The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
Left Brain ................... Right Brain
Logical ....................... Random
Sequential ................. Intuitive
Rational ..................... Holistic
Analytical .................. Synthesizing
Objective ................... Subjective
Looks at parts ............ Looks at wholes
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking.
Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adapt at both modes.
In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying
the right-brain activities.
Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy.
Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

At first I thought it was a trick, that the animation was made that way, but now I can "make her shift direction" at my will. Intriguing

Re: Which way does she turn?
That is too weird. To my perception, she kept switching back and forth while I was trying to read the description. Slightly disconcerting/disorienting, and I think it's trying to cause a headache. 
*scrolls down to check something, gets distracted by the animation for a second* Holy...! Okay, she just changed directions mid-turn, while I was watching. WEIRD!!
*watches a bit more* And this time, she changed directions twice. Are we sure it's not the programming?
Anyway, I was going to say something about right/left brain, or unconscious mind, or something, but now I've forgotten what it was I was going to say!

To be honest: no, I'm not sure

Re: Which way does she turn?
Earlier today, Mel told me that she only sees it going clockwise.

Re: Which way does she turn?
She switched directions several times. When I listened to folk and pop music, she went left. Jazz, she went to the right in time with the music. Listening to politics, left side. Weird.
BTW, ButMadd, I saw her turn in mid air too. for a very brief time, I thought I made her move at will. When I thought of this guy at work, she would go and change directions several times or would get stuck in the middle like a metronome.
I'm brain nutty. LOL
