耶魯5年神奇研究成果:一張圖分出你是用左腦還是右腦!

If you see the dancing figure move clockwise, you are using your right brain; if you see her move anti-clockwise, you are using your left brain. 

After five years of research, Yale University reported that 14 per cent of Americans can see the figure move both ways. People who use their right brain the most will more likely see the figure move clockwise. People who use their left brain the most will more likely see the figure move anti-clockwise.

By and large, the majority of people see the figure move anti-clockwise.

More women than men see the dancing figure rotate clockwise.

People who can see the anti-clockwise rotation suddenly turn clockwise have an IQ of 160 or more!!!

The parietal lobe is responsible for the brain’s mathematics and logic, which is the secret behind Einstein becoming a genius. But it is undeniable that Einstein’s rich imagination and creativity were important factors that triggered his right brain to reach its potential.

The left hemisphere uses language to process messages and control knowledge, judgment and thinking, so it is known as the “intellectual brain”. The right hemisphere is in control of the autonomic nervous system and processing images in the brain. Because it is a brain of images, it has a superior capability to design; therefore, it is called the “arts brain”.

Here is an interesting game. If I don’t look at the figure, but concentrate only on the shadows of her feet, I can make her turn the way I like. When I think of clockwise, she will turn clockwise; when I think of anti-clockwise, she will turn anti-clockwise, as if my thinking controls her. If I concentrate hard enough, I can even make the figure waver and not form a full circle.
