Left & Right Brain Determining the difference between the right & left brain

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer

turning clockwise or

anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......when you look through ME you will see YOU!

Optical Illusions

Test #6: What do you see?

Brain Science:This image is an example of an ambiguous illusion — a picture or object that requires perceptual switching between the alternative interpretations of figure and ground. And although you may be able to switch back and forth to see one image or the other, your eyes will not let you see both at the same time.

Brain Science cont.Our visual perception is created by our brain’s interpretation in the cerebral cortex of visual information entering through the visual pathway.Sometimes our minds get too involved in interpreting the perceptual input, rather than passively recording it, and make mistakes, otherwise known as “optical illusions”.

Test #7: What do

you see?

Test #7: Results & Interpretation

This one has a couple different cool things. First, if you follow the pink dot moving, the dots will remain pink, but if you stare at the plus sign in the center, the rotating dot will turn green. That’s cool, but now try this... focus on the plus sign in the center for a short period and all the pink dots will disappear and all you will see is the green dot going around! cool huh?

Test #8: InstructionsThis is a cool trick on the eyes - just try and catch the black dots!

Test #8: What do you see?

Test #8: Results & Interpretation

ALZHEIMER'S EYE TEST

Count every 'F' in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

HOW MANY ? WRONG, THERE ARE 6-- no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !

Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's

The brain cannot process 'OF'.

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal, four is quite rare..
