from this:

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

Is the big pink bunny turning?
posted by arse_hat 22 October | 11:09
Clockwise, but I identify much more with the 'left brain' description.
posted by altolinguistic 22 October | 11:19
This essay debunks the left/right brain thing, and also has a fuckin' freaky coffee bean illusion thing.
posted by occhiblu 22 October | 11:19
thanks ico.
posted by Hellbient 22 October | 11:23
At least, I think that linked essay debunks that part of the illusion. As I read more of the guy's site, I'm finding him annoyingly left-brained, and therefore a bit less than 100% credible. :-)

At first it was counter-clockwise, but then I scrolled down to see the entire image, and her feet make me think she was going clock-wise.

This also happens a lot for me with porn. . .

and thanks occhi, I had a feeling all that right/left brain game stuff was too simplistic.

yeah, me too, danf, but for me it always "who's fµcking who?" I go back and forth several times before I realize I'm just fµcking myself.

Most folks don't realize that the whole left brain/right brain things is basically a load of bunk.

What is NOT bunk, though, is that you use the right half of your brain when confronted with something new. (Kids spend most of their time in their right brain.) The left side of the brain is used when you deal with familiar, known, practiced things. (Most adults spend most of their time in their left brain.) There's a whole lot more to it, but basically, new things are weird and disorienting to adults, and the left brain tries to make sense of it; hence the perceived dichotomies between the halves (holistic vs. rational, objective vs. subjective, sequential vs. intuitive).

oh, so sorry seanyboy, and baby jeezus. I was being lazy. *Notes to self*
Well, this might as well be a "hellbient, you fµcked ____ up" thread. So keep 'em comin'.
posted by Hellbient 22 October | 11:46
I love the word 'bunk.'
posted by box 22 October | 11:47
"bunkum" is nice too.
posted by JanetLand 22 October | 12:15
hokum is fun too.
posted by arse_hat 22 October | 12:21
I'm rather partial to 'codswallop'.
posted by elizard 22 October | 12:26
It's all folderol to me.
posted by Hugh Janus 22 October | 12:28
Yesterday, somebody said, "I call shenanigans on that," meaning that it was codswallop. And I said, "I thought shenanigans were more like hijinks than codswallop." And then we got sidetracked, so, hey, what do y'all think? Extra points for zany and wacky shenanigans.
posted by mygothlaundry 22 October | 12:30
Shenanigans! Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
posted by elizard 22 October | 12:35
I think "calling shenanigans" is from South Park.
posted by mudpuppie 22 October | 12:43
I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, "Shenanigans."
posted by Hugh Janus 22 October | 13:08
Shenanigans.

But then, I am not a guy. Hmm. Am I disqualified?

No matter what I do, I cannot see the lady spinning counter-clockwise.
posted by brina 22 October | 13:13
Also, when I saw the man in the coffee beans it was startling. At first I thought there was a man illustration in the way the coffee beans were laid out. And then I looked at the whole picture instead of focusing on segments and BAM ... plain as day. (It took less than three seconds, though, so clearly I'm smarter and better than the rest of you, according to debunked rumors.)

posted by Hellbient 22 October | 14:05
I don't get how it could possibly be spinning counter-clockwise.

Hugh, folderol is awesome. I had to look it up after I heard it on The Decemberists' The Enfanta.

arse_hat, hokum just makes me picture Hoquiam.

"I don't get how it could possibly be spinning counter-clockwise."

It's all trumpery.
posted by arse_hat 22 October | 14:16
I can't find the coffee bean man. :(
posted by mudpuppie 22 October | 14:24
Bottom to the left of centre.
posted by arse_hat 22 October | 14:26
Yeah, so, I couldn't find, but I'm resourceful and I googled and got some hints and there he is, peeping at me.
posted by mudpuppie 22 October | 14:30
Yeah, I need hints for the coffee bean man, too. So I am obviously dumb, but resourceful, which means I'm smart. Yessiree.
posted by occhiblu 22 October | 14:36
That's a nice illusion. First she was spinning clockwise and it took me a while until I got her spinning counter-clockwise. To do this, I had to concentrate on the shadow of her moving foot. Now, after a bit of practice, I can make her spin either way pretty much at will.

THE JOCKS' TABLE

The traditionally handsome KURT KELLY and the massive RAM sit
with other typical Jocks taking in VERONICA and the HEATHERS.

KURT
It'd be so righteous to be in a
Veronica Sawyer-Heather Chandler
sandwich. Punch it in, Ram.

KURT and RAM raise their right arms and slam their fists
together.

RAM
Hell yes. I wanna set a Heather on
my Johnson and just start spinning
her like a fucking pinwheel.

RAM makes a frantic spinning motion.
posted by pieisexactlythree 22 October | 15:13
Actually, if you wanna get all Magritte about it, she's really not spinning at all.
posted by Hellbient 22 October | 15:44
Also, she's actually a man in drag.

And that nipple is there only because the sweaty programmer dropped his Reuben on the keyboard.

That's no lady, that's my wife!
posted by cortex 22 October | 17:10
... and I STILL can't make her go counter-clockwise.
posted by brina 22 October | 17:13
cortex, dude, your wife goes both ways!

Hmm. Why does she only have one boob? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
posted by brina 22 October | 20:17
She totally has two boobs - complete with nipples.

BUT HOW DOES IT WORK?! AAHHHGGG!!!
posted by youngergirl44 22 October | 22:54
Try looking at the foot shadwos, youngergirl44. I can switch her *almost* at will now.

I can see this, but not as mentioned by some in the preivious thread,can I see any magic eye thing.
posted by rainbaby 22 October | 23:54
or shadows. Oops.
posted by rainbaby 22 October | 23:55
I can totally see it both ways, I just don't know how it's possible.
posted by youngergirl44 23 October | 05:05
I can't see it as anything other than clockwise. Believe me, I've tried. I don't see how it's possible that it's going the other way.
