A friend of mine sent me a link to the image above, and it’s
pretty crazy. Basically if you see the woman spinning clockwise - you are supposedly more right-brained; if you see her spinning counter-clockwise,
you are supposed to be more left-brained. That's a myth and not true.
The image is not objectively “spinning” in one direction or other. It is a 2-dimensional image that is simply shifting back and forth. Our visual processing assumes we are looking at a 3-D image and it uses clues to interpret it as such. Or, without adequate clues, we may just arbitrarily decide a best fit - spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. And once this fit is chosen, the illusion is complete - we see a 3-D spinning image.

At first I saw her spinning clockwise but then once I saw her go counter-clockwise, I couldn’t get the clockwise view back.
My friend could only see the clockwise view for the longest time, but then finally saw her go counter-clockwise.
Have some fun with it. Probably the funniest part of this is trying to convince someone that she’s spinning differently than they see her.

And finally: An interesting example of the abilities of the human mind: Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs. I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on.
