For example, I almost always see her rotating clockwise. My girlfriend, on the other hand, sees the dancer changing direction every few seconds.<BR/><BR/>Right .... I agree that people see the image differently. I am interested in knowing how do you relate these variations to compartmentalization of brain?<BR/><BR/>&gt;&gt;&gt;Supposedly, people who see clockwise rotation are right brained. People who see counter-clockwise rotation are left brained.<BR/><BR/>What about people who see neither? Like me - who see that the direction simply changes at about 10-20 secs.<BR/><BR/>I am interested to see how you make the connection?<BR/><BR/>ShriniShrini Kulkarnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10782753752478547381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879107.post-77341440570750942502009-01-30T12:25:00.000-06:002009-01-30T12:25:00.000-06:00Shrini, not everyone sees a change of direction when they view the dancer.
