Which Side is Your Brain?
I was forwarded an article in the Herald Sun this week which is supposed to indicate whether you use more of the right side or left side of your brain.
If you see the dancer below turning clockwise, then you use more of the right side of your brain and vice versa.
It’s interesting to test this with friends and colleagues; I can only see the dancer turning clockwise, but others can only see her turning anti-clockwise (including Mysie) and some see her change her direction.
