RESEARCHERS have claimed that they can tell if you are right-brained or left-brained just by how you watch this dancer spin.
In fact, experts claim that optical illusion can actually reveal how smart an individual is based on the brain’s visual perception.

The ballerina’s direction will no doubt divide opinion, as some people will see her spinning clockwise, others will see her spinning counterclockwise, and some will see both.
But 13 years after it was published, experts say the illusion doesn’t involve a hemisphere of the brain, but rather one that most people will see rotating clockwise.
This is because we tend to look down and direct our attention to the right side of the body.
It was originally created in 2003 by Japanese Flash designer Nobuyuki Kayahara and for years determined which side of the brain people use.

According to the video, the people who see her spin clockwise are right-brained, which means they see the big picture, are philosophical and spiritual, think outside the box, are imaginative, and take risks.
However, if you see it rotating counter-clockwise, it is logical, detail and fact oriented, mathematical, scientific and strategic, while people who see both are said to be highly intelligent with a high IQ intellectual.
But Paul Spencer with Tonica contacted Arthur Shapiro and Niko Troje, the two scientists explaining Kayahara’s spinning girl in the upcoming Oxford Compendium of Visual Illusions.

“It’s just silly,” Arthur Shapiro, a professor of computer science at American University in Washington DC and creator of the color train color illusion, told Paul.
The scientists explain that the ballerina is considered a reversible image, meaning that although it rotates, it shows “similarities to other static illusions.”

Niko Troje, director of the BioMotion Lab at Queens University, goes on to say that these types of images can change in an instant because they can be viewed in two different ways.
This is because the image does not reveal any clues about the depth of the image, which usually helps us understand it, so when it is not immediately clear, our brain takes the initiative to fill the gap.
