The Right Brain vs Left Brain

If you see the dancer turning clockwise, you use more of the right side of your brain. If counter-clockwise, the left. I can only see it clockwise.

Apparently most people would see this as counter-clockwise.

right you are…it does switch. i sat here concentrating really hard. and paying attention to what way it was going right when i was kinda like naww its our brain…it switchs. you can tell where it switchs too.
