what side of your 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."

Very interesting on two levels.

Physically. It shouldn't be possible to see it going counter clockwise. I opened the animation and it is constructed to go clockwise. But I can see it going both ways. Very, very odd.

Conceptually. Does it actually mean anything that you can see it going both ways? There is an interesting article about the validity of the study which spawned this viral internet test.
