Optical illusion claims to show whether your right brain or left brain is dominant

Posted by: Diane Levin in Mind and Cognition, Optical Illusions

Here’s a cool optical illusion that purportedly determines whether your left brain or right brain is dominant.

For more optical illusion fun, visit this post from the Online Guide to Mediation archives, “When seeing isn’t believing: optical illusions offer insight into conflict and perception“.

    Hi, Diane. That dancer is such an interesting device. It has been flying (dancing) around the Internet. What people are doing is watching it with someone else because it is amazing when you do not see the same thing as your friend. For me it kept switching but the person with whom I was watching it only saw it going clockwise.

    I’m envious, Stephanie–I could only see it go clockwise. I’ll have to try watching it with someone else next. It would be fascinating to know whether this in fact proves much of anything and, if it does, how it works.
