Title: right brain, left brain?
Post by: julieanna on October 05, 2010, 05:37:07 pm

Hi-I don't know if I am posting in the right place or not, but I had surgery on May 14 and can surely relate to most people on this site, and it surely helps to have other people describe some of the thing I thought I was alone in feeling.

I don't know if it just an accident, or if it has anything to do with surgery, but I was looking at the test (the spinning ballet dancer) to determine right or left brain, and discovered that if I hold my head straight I see her spinning one way, and if I tilt it sideways, she spins the opposite way.  I  find this really fascinating, as I used to do a lot of art work.  If anyone is interested I can post a link, or just Google a right/left brain search and I think you will find it.

Let me know if it works the same for you.

Ooooh, that was kind of fun.  Initially the dancer was turning clockwise for me.  I looked away and looked back and she was turning counter clockwise, but within a few seconds she went back to clockwise.  Does that mean I have a split personality???   ::)

Really interesting....prior to my surgery, I was always right brain..........this test it is nothing but left brain and I have never been logical in my life!!  I'm just very happy to have a brain!!!  That was fun...thank you for sharing!

I couldn't resist and took the 'test'.  I could not see the silhouetted dancer as turning anything but clockwise.  This result is supposed to determine that my 'right brain' dominates  The problem is that every other 'left brain-right brain' test I've taken always tells me I'm 'left brained'.  Go figure.  Right now, my left brain is telling me that these tests are over-generalized but fun to take, all the same.

Cool, mostly counter clockwise, but when I tilt my head she changes to clockwise...
Thanks for sharing,
